The Georgia Bulldogs have five players in the top-100 2026 NFL draft rankings from USA TODAY's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz. If the draft goes according to these rankings, then Georgia would have five players picked in the first three rounds of the draft, but only one player, offensive tackle Monroe Freeling, drafted in the first-round.

Middlehurst-Schwartz ranks Georgia players around where most other NFL draft experts have them on big boards. He is a little higher on tight end Oscar Delp than most.

This year's Georgia draft class is not expected to be as big as previous seasons. One recent seven-round mock draft has seven Georgia players being drafted, which would be the least UGA players drafted since 2020, when the Bulldogs also had seven draft picks.

We'll find out soon enough where Georgia players end up being drafted. The draft starts on Thursday evening, April 23 in Pittsburgh.

Freeling has immense physical potential despite not having a ton of college football experience. His measurables and athleticism have pushed him to be a first-round lock. Middlehurst-Schwartz says that Freeling's "technique is still a work in progress" at this point in his career, but NFL teams can't deny his potential.

Georgia linebacker CJ Allen proved his health with an impressive 40-yard dash time before the draft. Allen is a physical thumper that will provide good leadership. Middlehurst-Schwartz has Allen ranked as an early second-round pick, but he could sneak into the late part of the first-round on Thursday night.

"Seldom fooled by misdirection, Allen can be counted on to make the right calls for himself and those who stand alongside him on defense," Middlehurst-Schwartz wrote. "His role might top out at finishing plays rather than making them."

Miller brings run-stopping ability with pass rushing upside at the defensive tackle spot. He has a solid frame with good athleticism, which is why he'll go early in the draft. These rankings peg him as a middle of the second-round pick, but this draft class lacks elite talent at defensive tackle, so he could go higher. The Georgia star has "the make-up of a stout pro" for whoever drafts him, but Middlehurst-Schwartz thinks Miller has limited pass rushing ability.

This ranking may be a little high for Delp compared to others, but there's a lot to like about the athletic Georgia tight end. Delp will look to be the seventh Georgia tight end drafted in the last eight years.

Delp did not do athletic testing at the combine due to a foot injury, but participated in Georgia's pro day. Middlehurst-Schwartz thinks that Delp will "likely never become a true to-go threat" in the NFL, but still thinks he is capable of making big plays.

Middlehurst-Schwartz's rankings came out before Zachariah Branch's arrest, but his arrest is not expected to have a major impact on his draft stock. Branch's quickness, ability to separate and yards after the catch skills should translate nicely to the NFL.

Branch is described as as a "screen demon" for his one year at Georgia. However, in his one year at Georgia, Branch set the school record for receptions and was very productive when targeted. Branch is projected as a third-round pick.
