The Georgia Bulldogs finished the 2025 NFL draft with 13 players selected, the highest total of any team in the SEC.
Three former Bulldogs were drafted in round one, which brought Kirby Smart’s all-time total of first round picks produced with the Bulldogs to 20 — more than the 19 losses Georgia has had since he’s been the head coach. Below is a look at where every Georgia player in this year’s draft wound up.
Mykel Williams

Defensive end Mykel Williams became the first Bulldog off the board after he was chosen No. 11 overall by the San Francisco 49ers in the first round. An incredibly powerful rusher, Williams will aim to help a rebuilding 49ers defense return to the Super Bowl after a down year in 2024.
Jalon Walker

Linebacker Jalon Walker won’t have to travel too far to start his professional career, as he was selected No. 15 overall by the Atlanta Falcons in the first round. Walker is an incredibly versatile player with the skills to play both edge rusher and off-ball linebacker. He will join an Atlanta defense in desperate need of pass rushing help, which the team also addressed by trading back up in the first round and drafting Tennessee edge James Pearce Jr.
Malaki Starks

Safety Malaki Starks rounded out Georgia’s trio of first-rounders when he was selected 27th overall by the Baltimore Ravens. Starks will pair with star safety Kyle Hamilton in Baltimore’s defensive backfield as the Ravens aim to get over the hump in the AFC and reach the Super Bowl.
Tate Ratledge

Offensive guard Tate Ratledge was Georgia’s first selection of Day 2 after the Detroit Lions moved up to take him No. 57 overall in the second round. Ratledge will join one of the best offensive lines in the NFL and have the chance to learn from veteran starters Graham Glasgow and Frank Ragnow. Detroit is in need of a replacement for guard Kevin Zeitler, who left in free agency.
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild was the second Georgia guard to go in this draft, being selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the No. 81 pick in the third round. He will reunite with former teammate Amarius Mims on the line, who the Bengals drafted No. 18 overall in 2024. Cincinnati is in search of a return to the playoffs after a lost year in 2024.

Jared Wilson
Georgia rounded out day two with another interior lineman, with center Jared Wilson drafted by the New England Patriots 95th overall in the third round. He was the second offensive lineman drafted by New England after the team selected LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell fourth overall. Wilson is a candidate to replace fellow former Georgia center David Andrews in the middle, who was released this offseason after 10 seasons with the team.
Arian Smith

Wide receiver Arian Smith became Georgia’s first pick of day three when he was selected No. 110 overall by the New York Jets in the fourth round. Smith has unteachable speed down the field and was Georgia’s leading receiver in 2024. Though he struggled with drops, he offers real big-play ability and has the chance to be a solid special teamer out of the gate.
Trevor Etienne

Running back Trevor Etienne was selected No. 114 overall in the fourth round by the Carolina Panthers after one season at Georgia. He will join a backfield featuring standout back Chuba Hubbard and the newly-signed Rico Dowdle. Rising second-year back Jonathon Brooks is unlikely to play in 2025 after a torn ACL in December, meaning Etienne could see some snaps early in his career.
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins

Defensive lineman Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins was the first pick of the fifth round, going No. 139 to the Minnesota Vikings. Though injuries limited his production in college, Ingram-Dawkins has rare quickness for his size and tested off the charts at the NFL combine. If he refines his game a bit more, Ingram-Dawkins could be a steal for Minnesota.
Smael Mondon Jr.

Another former Bulldog is now a Philadelphia Eagle. The defending Super Bowl champions drafted linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. No. 161 overall in the fifth round. Mondon will join a defense featuring former college teammates Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, Kelee Ringo, Lewis Cine and Jalen Carter. With Dean needing time to return from a torn patellar tendon he suffered in the playoffs, there is a chance Mondon finds his way onto the field.
Warren Brinson

Defensive tackle Warren Brinson was selected No. 198 overall in the sixth round by the Green Bay Packers. He is also reunited with several college teammates, as the Packers’ defense features former Bulldogs Devonte Wyatt, Quay Walker and Javon Bullard, in addition to tight end John FitzPatrick on offense.
Dan Jackson

Safety Dan Jackson was drafted No. 230 overall by the Detroit Lions in the seventh round. He will aim to contribute to an elite Lions safety room that already features stars Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph. Jackson seems like a perfect fit for head coach Dan Campbell’s style, and could serve as a solid special teamer for Detroit to start his career.
Dominic Lovett

Dominic Lovett was the final Georgia player drafted, and the third by Detroit, when he was selected No. 244 overall in the seventh round by the Lions. Though his production in two years at Georgia never matched his final season with Missouri, Lovett has nice ability after the catch and will now aim to earn a spot within a talented Lions offense.
