Who do you think will be a future 1st round pick currently on the team?

Locks

Chris Cole (top 10)
Bolden (mid-late 1st)

Possibles

Jaden Reddel

Think that is probably all that can declare this season

Future 1st rounders

Ellis Robinson (mid 1st)
Elijah Griffin (mid-late 1st)
Juan Gaston (Top 10)
Zykie Helton (Likely top 15)

Anyone else you guys think?

I didnt think Ellis could declare until next year?

And yes I listed him as a first rounder just under next season because of the above

Earnest Greene and Raylen Wilson could do it

Dont think Greene is a 1st rounder imho

He is a good player and him and Bobo will get drafted but I see them as likely 4th rounders ish

Helton and Gaston are going to be 1st round picks when they eventually can declare.

Glover is playing his way up in the draft but Im not sure if he will go 1st round. Can he declare this year? I know Greene and Bobo are gone after this year but we have 2 more years of Helton and 1 more of Gaston.

As for Raylen Wilson just looking around it seems most places are grading him as a 2nd round pick but is playing himself upwards. He also runs a 4.5 40 yard dash so he can be a 3 down linebacker for an NFL team, I could see a team taking him late in the first. It will be big for him how he plays down the stretch

Mel Kiper and the young ESPN guy who acts like Mel Kiper both had Ellis Robinson as the #2 cornerback behind the Notre Dame guy.

I don't understand why Griffin doesn't play more, at least in big games. He's supposed to be a top 10 pick when he goes to the draft, but he might have played 25 snaps against Alabama and wasn't out there on a lot of big third downs. We rotate our defensive lineman like we rotate wide receivers.

David Bellamy does a podcast where he breaks down the film from games.

I watched his breakdown of the Alabama game last night and he actually highlighted Griffin playing great quite a few times it’s just most of the time it’s not immediately visible because he is usually freeing up someone else to make a play.

He was directly responsible for one of the sacks. By springing the safety free I think it was the one Bolden got there on.

If anyone is interested in watching a former great UGA pass rusher breakdown the film let me know and I’ll link it ITT

ETA: Here it is. He is actually really critical on the defense highlighting how this game should not have been even remotely close. He is extremely complimentary of Gunner though and basically calls out how much better he is than Russell

The Film Guy recommended this dude a few weeks ago, and I've started watching and it's really solid.

This breakdown includes an elite Elijah Griffin play. Definitely needs to be playing more than 25-30 snaps against Ole Miss and Missouri.

Gunner keeps hitting long balls and layered completions in tight windows and not throwing ints.... and he will be. He is the most efficient QB I can ever remember period.

The improved layering on intermediate game throws is the most drastic visible change from last year to this year for Gunner imo.

Last year I felt like that was the weakest part of his game, especially when going over the middle in between the seams.


He hasnt just gotten a little bit better at it or become serviceable. He has turned a weakness into a strength. He is layering the ball above LBs and other second level defenders into intermediate windows better than any UGA QB ive seen in a long time. Maybe since Aaron Murrays senior year.

He is definitely the more efficient QB of the two though.

Most accurate QB I can ever remember.... for all the grief he took, Gunner is the most underrated QB in college.

A lot of Georgia fans doing a Stetson all over again.

Gunner probably won some more of the fanbase over after the Bama game, but the amount of our own fans who were still doubting Gunner at this time last week was unbelievable to me.

Just like Stetson, it will probably be a case where a lot of Georgia fans won't fully appreciate Gunner until after he's gone.

Gunner is killing it. Spectacular season so far. If not for letting pug play he would lead every major category.

People should embrace a gunner for Heisman campaign. Fanbase should push hard for him.
