Georgia football has five go in four-round 2021 NFL mock draft

Five Georgia Bulldogs football players are selected in the first four rounds of this 2021 NFL mock draft.

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.

Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Ben Cleveland is an incredible athlete and will try to break the NFL combine bench press record at Georgia’ 2021 pro day. Cleveland has been preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft after he opted out of the Peach Bowl against Cincinnati.

Ben Cleveland, who attended Stephens County High School, started at offensive guard for Georgia this season. Ben Cleveland dominated as a run blocker during the 2021 season. He’s one of the strongest players to ever come through the University of Georgia football program and should test well on all athletic tests on pro day.

Cleveland should have a legitimate chance to break the combine bench press record of 49 reps of 225 pounds. Former Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea (2011) currently holds the NFL combine bench press record.

While Ben Cleveland wouldn’t officially set the record, it would still be an impressive accomplishment and help boost his NFL draft stock.

Ben Cleveland played for the University of Georgia from 2016-2020. Cleveland made an immediate impact as a freshman and played in every game during Georgia’s SEC Championship season in 2017.

How many Georgia Bulldogs will be selected in the 2021 NFL draft?

More than one Georgia defender will be drafted in 2021. In fact, six Dawgs (four defenders) are projected to be drafted in the first three rounds of the 2021 NFL draft.

Here’s where Georgia Bulldogs are projected to go in the first 96 picks:

Azeez Ojulari goes No. 22 overall to the Tennessee Titans. He would immediately help the Titans’ pass rush, which needs more talent.

What Georgia Bulldogs have declared for the 2021 NFL Draft?

Numerous Georgia Bulldogs have announced that they intend to enter into the 2021 NFL Draft and several others are staying in Athens.

Eleven Georgia Bulldogs have announced that they intend to enter into the 2021 NFL Draft. Remaining players have about a week to make a decision on their NFL future. Additionally, six notable players have announced that they’re returning to the University of Georgia for another season.

The 2021 offseason is unique because players can transfer and be immediately eligible. The 2020 season does not count against anybody’s eligibility either.

Kirby Smart and Georgia will have to replace five defensive backs who have declared for the 2021 NFL Draft. The Bulldogs are only losing two offensive linemen and a tight end on the offensive side of the football. Quarterback JT Daniels is returning for another season and so are the vast majority of his weapons.

Here’s a list of every Georgia Bulldog who have made decisions regarding the 2021 NFL Draft:
