2025 Georgia football falls to âTier 2â² rank in NFL draft talent, per ESPN
To be clear, Reid featured the top 12 college football teams, breaking it down into three tiers of four teams, based overall number of draft prospects and first-rounders.

Based on what we have seen so far can't say that these forecasted draft grades are that far off. Seems like it would benefit most of the draft eligible players, with remaining eligibility, to return for another year to develop and improve their draft position.
What stands out to me beyond the historical success of UGA in the NFL draft under CKS is the failure of the '24 defense with 3 NFL 1st rd draft choices (1 playing at each level).
My question: Who is Jordan Reid?
Well best way to shut down media critics like this guy is show up big on the field and stay out of trouble off the field. Won’t be long till it’s Show Time !! Go Dawgs !!
Still talking season i see..Nothing but another useless preseason prediction by another so called espn "expert". What happens if injuries strike, and take out his top teams best players? I'll believe his opinion, IF it actually does become a reality. We'll see how accurate he is in a couple of months..
My thoughts exactly!
starts up front. Stackhouse and Brinson weren’t good enough and the pups didn’t step up.
Yet both of those guys appear to be making an NFL roster or practice squad in '25. Both of those guys were HS class of '20. 4* players in the program for 4 years who both entered the program at over 300 lbs. All the GA coaches and development couldn't make them "good enough" in 4 years? Huge recruiting miss (NFL says otherwise) or UGA coaching fail?
just not good enough to be starters. They may both make rosters but I doubt they will make much of an impact. They were good rotational players, but not superstars and their draft status reflects that.
Wow. That's your argument? How many rookies, especially non 1st rd draft choices, start as rookies? Even Jalen Carter didn't start at the beginning of his rookie season. Both of those players have enough size, skill and potential to warrant, in the eyes of NFL teams, a chance to be professional players.
Many (most?) CFB teams are forced to survive (do well?) with "not superstar" players every season. I'd say that is the norm for most teams. How many "superstar" players will the '25 national champion have? 4 or 5? At the most.
To be allowed to stay in the UGA program for 4 years means they were good and working hard to get better. Otherwise they would not be asked to come back multiple times. The fact that they hit their ceilings early at UGA and didn't get much better, yet pro teams think they have more room to grow, says something about how they were "developed" at UGA.
Lol....when will they learn. All these ESPN endorsed teams...with their hyped up personel....Still have to "Do It!", on the field. Propaganda will only get em so far.
As usual....ESPN's house of cards will come crashing down, under the might of "Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldog Reality Check". We need to start saturating Social Media with all these blown media narratives at the end of every season.
Force em to start reporting it straight for a change...imo. Lol....I'll betcha....you can find at least 5 storylines on Colorado Football....on ESPN's CFB Website...in any given 5 day period. Sometimes 2 or 3 headlines in a day. Same goes for OSU, Michigan, Penn St, Notre Dame....and, other ESPN-select schools and players.
They own the propaganda....UGA owns The Dawgs! & the trophies. Lol
Georgia may not have lots of "big names" this year, but successful NFL programs have noticed that Georgia graduates are ready and "battle tested". That's the advantage of picking someone that has played against the best - you know what you're getting. These players could have gone to small schools and just dominated and broke records playing against high school level talent. The problem is that they wouldn't have gotten better because they didn't play against the best.
Imo....The names on UGA's roster will be a lot bigger, come December. They've got at least half a dozen players ready to break out and make their mark.
You can't account for all that talent.....[in a high pressure, intense and thorough, Training & Development Program].....just by reading the paper.
Imo...you have to extrapolate player and team development, using a much steeper curve than 98% of the other CFB Programs. Which is why ESPN gets it wrong, most of the time, in their Preseason Analysis.
The team we saw on the field last December, will NOT be the team that lines em up this September. The boys that hung around.…will be light years ahead of where they were, this time, last year.
I don't need a crystal ball...nor, do I have to monitor team activity to know that, Kirby's Standard.…is still Kirby's Standard. In some things...."History" really is the best predictor of future events. In this case....the Dawgs will win the SEC & The Natty.
And....they'll "do it....with a truckload of talent headed to the pros, when all is said & done. One or two names, not even on the radar yet.
