8 Georgia players taken in Mel Kiper’s two-round NFL mock draft

Just how talented was Georgia’s defense last year? Mel Kiper predicts 7 UGA defenders will be taken in the first 45 picks of the NFL draft.

Georgia set a school record in the 2021 NFL draft when it had nine players selected.

This year, Georgia is looking to shatter that number with potentially as many as 15 players selected.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper released his two-round NFL mock draft for this year’s event, and the analyst sees eight Georgia players being selected within the first 64 picks.

This includes Travon Walker, who has been rising on draft boards since the NFL combine, going No. 3 overall to the Houston Texans.
