Several Georgia Bulldogs snubbed in Daniel Jeremiah's NFL mock draft

The Georgia Bulldogs have a lot of players entering the 2026 NFL draft, and many of them are considered first-round talent. However, Daniel Jeremiah doesn't think so. In his third mock draft of the year, he only included one Georgia Bulldog: offensive tackle Monroe Freeling.

Freeling was mocked to the Detroit Lions at pick No. 17, and it's a hand-and-glove fit. "Freeling has the most upside of any tackle in this year's draft," wrote Jeremiah. "And the Lions have a void to fill at the position after parting ways with Taylor Decker."

The 6-foot-7, 315-pound tackle was an athletic freak at the 2026 NFL combine, and Lions head coach Dan Campbell loves his offensive linemen as athletic freaks. He also pairs up with former Georgia guard Tate Ratledge once again. Ratledge was also a star at the 2025 NFL combine, so the upside of Freeling and Ratledge together will be intriguing to see.

However, that's the only Georgia Bulldog selected in the first round. CJ Allen, who has been popularly mocked to the Denver Broncos at pick No. 30 before they traded away that pick, was passed up in favor of Texas A&M EDGE Cassius Howell. Christen Miller earned first-round draft buzz throughout the year, but he wasn't included.

The biggest explanation was that neither Allen nor Miller tested at the xombine. Thankfully, Georgia scheduled its pro day just two weeks after the NFL combine, giving NFL scouts a feel for the true athleticism of every Georgia Bulldog in the draft pool. Allen and Miller got their chance to shine in drills, and Oscar Delp, who didn't participate in drills due to a foot injury, tested very well.
