The Georgia Bulldogs sent ten players to the 2020 NFL Combine. Will all of them get drafted? Probably not. Regardless, each former University of Georgia standout will get a shot to make an NFL roster.
According to CBS’s seven round NFL mock draft, seven Georgia Bulldogs will be selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. Looking at UGA’s recent draft history under head coach Kirby Smart, seven selections in right in line with what Georgia did in 2019’s seven draft picks and 2018’s six picks.
Georgia’s recent NFL Draft success is an uptick from the 2017 NFL Draft, where Isaiah McKenzie was the only Bulldog selected. So where are Georgia’s players projected to go in 2020?
First Round
11th Overall Selection: New York Jets
Offensive Tackle Andrew Thomas– Thomas is rated as the 15th overall player in the 2020 NFL Draft. He’s ranked behind three other tackles.
Second Round
61st Overall Selection: Tennessee Titans
Offensive Tackle Isaiah Wilson– Wilson has the size to compete with the best in the NFL. He’d be joining one of the elite NFL offensive fronts in Nashville. Georgia great Ben Jones leads the Tennessee line from the center position.
63rd Overall Selection: Kansas City Chiefs
Running Back D’Andre Swift– The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs reunite Swift with his former UGA teammate Mecole Hardman. This would be an ideal situation for Swift.
Third Round
76th Overall Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Quarterback Jake Fromm– In Tampa, Fromm would have a chance to start from day one. He’d also have elite wide receivers. Fromm winds up as the sixth quarterback selected.
Fourth Round
125th Overall Selection: New England Patriots
Offensive Guard Solomon Kindley– New England’s offense struggled in 2019, especially without center David Andrews. Kindley could see immediate playing time in Foxborough.
Fifth Round
156th Overall Selection: San Francisco 49ers
Safety J.R. Reed– The 49ers will look to reload following their NFC Championship winning 2019 season. J.R. Reed gives them experience and play-making ability in the secondary.
Sixth Round
203rd Overall Selection: New Orleans Saints
Defensive lineman Tyler Clark: Clark is CBS’s 229th best ranked prospect despite not receiving an invitation to the 2020 NFL Combine. That ranking projects him to be drafted with room to spare. Clark would provide defensive line depth for the Saints.
