The 2026 NFL draft officially came to a close on Saturday, with eight Georgia Bulldogs hearing their names called over the course of three days.

Just one Bulldog went in the first round, with Monroe Freeling landing with the Carolina Panthers at pick No. 19.

It was the first time since the 2021 NFL draft that Georgia didn’t at least have multiple first-round selections.
