The upcoming 2025 NFL Draft is shaping up to showcase several standout players from the University of Georgia, with quarterback Carson Beck emerging as a strong candidate for the top overall pick. According to Tankathon’s latest mock draft, Beck is projected to be the first quarterback selected, ahead of Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders.
Last year, eight Georgia Bulldogs were chosen in the 2024 NFL Draft, and it’s anticipated that the 2025 draft will see a similar number of Georgia players selected. Currently, there are projections for six Bulldogs to be taken within the first two rounds, totaling nine players expected to be drafted in the first three rounds. This includes five defensive and four offensive players. Georgia’s defense has been particularly dominant this season, having yet to allow a touchdown through the first three weeks, further boosting the draft prospects of its defensive players.
Tankathon outlines three potential first-round picks for Georgia: quarterback Carson Beck, safety Malaki Starks, and edge rusher Mykel Williams. Below is a breakdown of the nine Georgia players projected to be selected in the first three rounds of the draft.
Daylen Everette, Cornerback
Projected Pick: No. 96
Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Daylen Everette, the top cornerback for Georgia this year, is anticipated to be a late third-round selection. His length and skill set make him a valuable prospect.
Earnest Greene, Offensive Tackle
Projected Pick: No. 76
Team: Washington Commanders
Earnest Greene’s draft stock has fluctuated, and he needs to refine his skills to regain first-round consideration as the season progresses.
Oscar Delp, Tight End
Projected Pick: No. 64
Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Oscar Delp, a junior tight end, has had a quiet season so far with just three catches for 25 yards, yet he remains a highly regarded prospect in the tight end category for the upcoming draft.
Jalon Walker, Linebacker
Projected Pick: No. 51
Team: Cleveland Browns
Jalon Walker has caught the attention of scouts with his performance, particularly in the game against Kentucky. His speed and pass-rushing ability are significant assets.
Tate Ratledge, Offensive Guard
Projected Pick: No. 45
Team: Miami Dolphins
Tate Ratledge, a preseason All-SEC selection, is currently sidelined due to an ankle injury requiring surgery. His absence is a notable loss for Georgia, as he is considered one of their top offensive linemen.
Malaki Starks, Safety
Projected Pick: No. 20
Team: Cleveland Browns
As long as he maintains his current high level of play, Malaki Starks is likely to be the top safety in the 2025 NFL Draft. He has recorded 11 tackles and one interception through the early part of the season.
Mykel Williams, Edge Rusher
Projected Pick: No. 12
Team: Chicago Bears
Mykel Williams is viewed as a potential top defensive pick. He is an explosive rusher with demonstrated versatility, though he is currently recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the season opener against Clemson.
Carson Beck, Quarterback
Projected Pick: No. 3
Team: Tennessee Titans
Carson Beck leads the quarterback prospects in this mock draft, though it’s common for a quarterback to go first overall due to the position’s significance. Despite areas for improvement, Beck has shown a commendable ability to avoid interceptions and has multiple opportunities to strengthen his draft stock as the season unfolds.
Overall, Georgia’s reputation for producing NFL talent remains strong, and as the 2025 draft approaches, it’s clear that many Bulldogs are set to make their mark at the next level.
