Georgia is going to have quite a few players taken in the 2025 NFL Draft and ESPN\u2019s Field Yates things quite a few will be coming off the board fairly early. Yates\u2019 latest mock draft<\/a> <\/strong>has two Georgia players in the top 10, the same two who rank top 10 on his big board,<\/strong><\/a> and another going later in the first round. <\/p>\n

Yates also put out his top five players at each position, and he lists six Georgia players in those rankings. It starts with the edge position where Yates has Jalon Walker<\/a><\/strong> ranked No. 5 on his big board but he has the North Carolina native getting selected No. 8 overall by the Panthers. Walker is also Yates\u2019 No. 2 edge in the class. <\/p>\n

\u201cWalker will generate some fascinating debates in draft rooms, as those who view him as an edge player at the NFL level (as I do) must account for his modest length for that position,\u201d Yates writes. \u201cThat being said, the tape is absurdly good for Walker, who challenges Carter for the best first step off the edge in the class. No Panthers defender reached even six sacks in 2024, and Carolina was 31st in pass rush win rate (28.1%), so this is a major hole to fill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mykel Williams<\/a><\/strong> is Yates\u2019 No. 3 EDGE and No. 7 overall prospect in the draft class. It just so happens that he\u2019s projected to go No. 7 overall to the New York Jets.<\/p>\n

Malaki Starks<\/a><\/strong> is also projected to go in the first round as the No. 22 overall player on the board. He\u2019s headed to Baltimore at No. 27 overall per Yates and he\u2019s the No. 1 safety in the class. Those three players are ranked among the top five at their positions and there are three more Bulldogs who can say the same.<\/p>\n

Trevor Etienne<\/a><\/strong> is the No. 5 running back. Smael Mondon<\/a><\/strong> is the No. 5 linebacker and Jared Wilson, after just one season as a starter at Georgia, is the No. 1 center. <\/p>\n
