The 2021 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and a number of Georgia Bulldogs are expected to be selected throughout the 7-round event at the end of April.
Chad Reuter of NFL.com recently released his most updated four-round mock draft, in which he had five Bulldogs selected, including two in the first round.
Here’s how Reuter sees things playing out for former UGA players.
Round 1:
Outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari goes No. 20 overall to the New York Giants.
The Giants get a couple of premium picks from this trade with the Bears and still select a much-needed pass rusher who best fits their scheme. Ojulari’s a good athlete and plays bigger than his 6-foot-3, 240-pound frame portends against the run.

Cornerback Eric Stokes goes No. 28 to the New Orleans Saints.
The Saints are a bit thin at cornerback right now and former first-round picks Marshon Lattimore and Patrick Robinson are both free agents after the season. Stokes is a fantastic athlete with good ball skills who could be a Tre’Davious White-type bargain near the end of the first round.

Round 2:
Cornerback Tyson Campbell goes No. 47 overall to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The junior out of Fort Lauderdale started in 23 games for the Bulldogs, recorded 89 career tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, one interception, 11 pass breakups, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries. He started all 10 games for Georgia in 2020, finishing with 29 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, one quarterback hurry, and one interception.
He recorded two career touchdowns.

Round 4:
The Buffalo Bills project to take Georgia tight end Tre’ McKitty with the 108th overall pick.
McKitty spent one season with the Bulldogs after transferring in from Florida Sate last season and battled injuries throughout the 2020 season. In seven games played, McKitty caught six passes for 108 yards and one touchdown.
The Cleveland Browns get Georgia offensive lineman Ben Cleveland with the 110th pick.
Georgia’s Ben Cleveland touts some of the best size, strength, and experience of any prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft. He measured as 6-foot-6 and weighs 354 pounds. Cleveland was an excellent run blocker for the Bulldogs in 2020.
