After the curtains closed on the 2024 NFL draft, attention swiftly turned towards the prospects for the 2025 edition. Unlike the previous year, where quarterback Caleb Williams emerged as the clear favorite for the top pick, the upcoming draft lacks such a standout contender.
Looking ahead, there’s speculation that two Georgia Bulldogs could vie for the coveted No. 1 spot. Quarterback Carson Beck has garnered considerable attention in several mock drafts, often touted as the potential first overall pick. Similarly, outside linebacker Mykel Williams is frequently highlighted as a frontrunner among edge rushers.
Despite Georgia boasting four players projected to go in the first round, they aren’t leading the pack in terms of draft prospects. According to CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson, an astonishing seven Ohio State Buckeyes are forecasted to make the first-round cut.
However, it’s worth noting that Wilson overlooks Georgia’s junior safety, Malaki Starks, who remains a strong contender for a first-round selection. In a recent USA TODAY mock draft for the 2025 NFL draft, Starks is predicted to secure the No. 14 spot.
As for the Bulldogs’ prospects in the first round, Ryan Wilson predicts four players from Georgia to make the cut, although specifics on those players are not provided in the given excerpt.
