The Georgia Bulldogs had two players selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Things got started when the New York Giants used the #4 overall pick to draft offensive tackle Andrew Thomas.
Three hours later, Georgia saw another offensive tackle go as the Tennessee Titans took Isaiah Wilson with the 29th overall pick.
We kept waiting and waiting to hear D’Andre Swift’s name called, but that did not happen on night one. Most expected the Dolphins or the Chiefs to take Swift.
Instead, Miami traded down from #26 to #30 and took Auburn cornerback Noah Igbinoghene. But the real shocker came with the final pick of the first round when the Kansas City Chiefs took LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, making him the only ball carrier taken in the first round.
Edwards-Helaire is a great player, but he’s no Swift. Either way, Swift is going to make one team very happy when he hears his name called early on in the second round. He is currently the second best available player on Mel Kiper’s Big Board.
So, with rounds two and three quickly approaching, here’s a look at which Georgia Bulldogs we could expect to be selected tonight:
Running back D’Andre Swift:
Swift should go very early in round two. The Dolphins and the Bucs hold the #7 and #13 picks, respectively, in the second round. They both may be forced to trade up in order to get Swift.
Offensive guard Solomon Kindley:
I’d expect Kindley to go in either the late second or early third round.
Safety J.R. Reed:
He’s one of the best safeties in the entire draft. Could he find his way into either the second or third round?
Quarterback Jake Fromm:
Maybe a bit early Fromm, who analysts see as a fourth round guy.
