If he needed a chip he’s got one! DGD!
I believe a bunch of people missed on this one. I can’t believe there were 16 RBs better than him.
7th round. Wow. Anyone who got him after the third was getting a bargain.
Oh, and hey, this puts Georgia into double digits. Is that good for the national lead now?
Agree….. I actually can’t believe there was one!
I hope McIntosh gets the chance to show other teams management and coaches what they passed on..GoDAWGS!
Other than Pods, was anyone not drafted?
@Spdawg
Kearis Jackson and Warren Ericson. Was hoping a team would give Ericson a shot as it was clear that he would have gotten a lot more playing time on any other OL this side of UGA and Michigan. As for Jackson, the scheme didn't allow him to build on the 500 receiving yards that he had way back in 2020 (would have equated to 750 yards in the 2023 15 game season).
Chubb and Michel should be on this list. Without 2 yrs under CKS, they do not go as high in the draft.
I’m happy for the kid that he was drafted, but sad for him that it was so late. I think he is clearly better overall than some RB’s drafted before him. I guess, though, that the NFL currently doesn’t value versatile backs who can both run the rock and catch deep passes out of the backfield? (His pass protection and downfield blocking are pretty good too.) 🤷🏻♂️
Of all the UGA draft surprises, KMcI going in the 7th rd was the biggest. Would seem to be the perfect 3rd down back. Very good runner and excellent receiver.
In general, other than BJones and SBIV (who both went earlier than expected) , all the Dawgs went later than expected. Probably why most NFL teams turn over their GM's every 5 years. The smart ones are starting to load up on SEC and especially UGA players.
I'd be surprised if Jackson, Ericson and Podlesny aren't signed as FA's.
Podlesny was signed by the Vikings as an undrafted free agent. And Jackson was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Titans.
Go Dawgs!!!
