Mel Kiper, an ESPN NFL Draft analyst, announced his recent mock draft, and his board includes a Bulldog in the top 10 picks.

Roquan Smith, a former linebacker for Georgia, recorded 95 tackles last season as he led the Bulldogs to a Rose Bowl Game victory and the National Championship Game.

According to the linebacker' s NFL Draft profile, he is projected to be drafted in the first round and can be compared to Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones.
