There’s a chance this could be a historic draft for Georgia.
The most UGA players selected in one draft was eight, and it happened twice - 2012 and 2013.
Here’s handicapping what might happen with UGA players in this year’s draft:
-- Certain to be drafted: Roquan Smith, Isaiah Wynn, Sony Michel, Nick Chubb, Lorenzo Carter.
-- Good bets: Trenton Thompson, Javon Wims, Davin Bellamy.
-- You never know: John Atkins, Cameron Nizialek, Dominick Sanders, Aaron Davis, Reggie Carter.
There are eight who are at least good bets, and if they all get drafted and just one of the others gets plucked, then it’s a record.
As far as overall star power – rather than just number of players drafted – as we get closer to the draft perhaps we can grade past drafts by assigning points per round, and see where this one ends up ranking.
It seems we can safely pencil Smith into the first round, then the question is whether Wynn or someone else sneaks in there too, and how many go on the second day (second and third rounds).
