Day Two Dawgs: Four Bulldogs Slated for Round 2 & 3
The Georgia Bulldogs saw only Monroe Freeling go in Round 1, but ESPN’s Matt Miller predicts a stellar Day Two haul. Linebacker CJ Allen is pegged to land with the Indianapolis Colts at No. 47, followed by defensive tackle Christen Miller to the Atlanta Falcons at No. 48. Tight end Oscar Delp could go 75th to the Miami Dolphins, and dynamic receiver Zachariah Branch is forecasted as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 99th pick. Cornerback Daylen Everette, though unlisted in the mock, is also generating buzz after a first-round cornerback run bumped him up draft boards. If Miller’s mock holds, Georgia could send four more Dawgs to the NFL before Round 4 kicks off.
It’s almost as if Kirby Smart has a secret bulldog farm churning out pros faster than you can say “UGA.” Scouts have reportedly been spotted chasing stray bulldogs around Sanford Stadium lawns, mistaking them for the next CJ Allen. Rumor has it the NFL is considering a rule change: teams must submit their mock drafts an hour earlier, simply to have time to Google “Which Georgia player is still available?” Meanwhile, Oscar Delp is polishing his pads and Zachariah Branch is putting on speed drills—because nothing says “future pro” like outrunning actual NFL cornerbacks in your mind.
Smart’s Pick Parade: Bulldog Coach Matches Picks to Losses
Since taking the helm in Athens, Kirby Smart’s Georgia program has churned out 21 first-round NFL draft picks—coincidentally equal to his 21 career losses in an astounding 117–21 record. The Bulldogs set a single-draft record with 15 selections in 2022 and totaled 13 picks just last year. Through consistent top-tier development, Georgia has seen over 30 players drafted across the last three drafts and aims to extend that streak in the upcoming Day Two and beyond—beginning with Monroe Freeling’s recent first-round leap to the Carolina Panthers.
Kirby Smart has effectively turned Sanford Stadium into a pick-factory, churning out NFL prospects with the efficiency of an assembly line—if that assembly line were staffed by former five-star recruits. Rival coaches are reportedly consulting fortune-tellers to predict the next Bulldog to be snapped up, while local car dealers are selling “I survived another Georgia draft class” bumper stickers. At this rate, Smart’s program will need its own ZIP code – or at least a warehouse – to store all the Lombardi trophies drafted out of Athens.
