ESPN Predicts Eleven Georgia Players to be Drafted in 2024

It's no secret that the Georgia football program under head coach Kirby Smart has established itself as one of the top NFL pipelines over the years. In just the last two draft classes, Georgia has had 25 total players selected, which includes the 2022 draft, in which they set a new draft record after having 15 players drafted. They may not beat their record from two years ago, but the 2024 class is already shaping up to be a good one for the Bulldogs.

In an article by ESPN, it was predicted that Georgia would have eleven total players taken in next year's NFL draft. Ohio State and Michigan were the only other programs that the sports network predicted to have more draft selections than the Bulldogs. It's worth mentioning that Michigan was predicted to have 17 total draft picks, which would break Georgia's previous record.

ESPN also predicts that Georgia will have two players taken in the first round, with one of those players being tight end Brock Bowers, who was labeled as the second-best player in all of college football by ESPN. "He doesn't have the size that [Kyle] Pitts had coming out, but he's a better prospect because you can do more with him," an AFC scout said.

It was also mentioned in the article that offensive lineman Amarius Mims is a "sleeper prospect to watch" for the Bulldogs this season. It is expected that Mims will be Georgia's starting right tackle this season. "Beyond Bowers, I expect Mims to rise quickly. He has tremendous lower-body movement that enables him to gain depth on his pass sets to stay in front of pass-rushers. He is an explosive run-blocker, too, and can generate movement on double-teams and climb to the second level with ease," NFL draft analyst Jordan Reid stated in the article.

As for some other Georgia players mentioned in the article, Reid highlighted that defensive back Javon Bullard "is a fringe top-40 pick". Bullard has primarily played the STAR position in previous seasons at Georgia but is expected to make the move to safety this year. As for another Georgia defensive back, Kamari Lassiter, Reid stated, "he must show more polish in his technique in order to garner early-round consideration." Georgia's linebacker duo of Jamon Dumas-Johnson and Smael Mondon received "midround" grades in the article.

The Bulldogs are poised to make yet another run at the national title this season, and if they do win three straight national titles at the end of the year, much of it can be accredited to the large amount of NFL talent that they possess on the roster.
