Three UGA players projected as first-round picks in 2019 NFL draft

Three Georgia Bulldogs will be selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft, according to the last mock draft by Peter Schrager of the NFL Network.

According to the mock draft, Deandre Baker will be selected by the Texans at No. 23 overall followed by Riley Ridley at No. 30 (Green Bay) and D’Andre Walker at No. 32 (New England).

New England, which won Super Bowl LIII at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium in February, selected two UGA players in the first round of the 2018 draft - lineman Isaiah Wynn and running back Sony Michel. Linebacker Roquan Smith was selected No. 8 overall by Chicago in last year's draft.
