Georgia round 1 2025 NFL draft picks: Full list of player selections from the Bulldogs

Mykel Williams, San Francisco 49ers

No Bulldogs were taken in the top 10, but they did not need to wait any longer to hear one of their player's names called as Edge Mykel Williams was picked with the 11th pick by the San Francisco 49ers. Williams is a strong pass rusher with the length to put aside big blockers at the NFL level. He is great on the edge and can expose mismatches against tight ends.

Williams has one of the highest ceilings in the draft. However, an issue for him has been staying healthy. He will need to work with the 49ers' medical staff to ensure he can stay healthy and reach his potential.

Jalon Walker, Atlanta Falcons

Linebacker Jalon Walker was the next Bulldog off the board at the 15th pick to the Atlanta Falcons. He is capable of playing flexibly as either a linebacker or edge, which will be valuable on the Falcons' defensive line. While he has short arms for an edge, he is good at tracking QBs and getting blockers' hands off of him so that he can close the distance to the quarterback.

Malaki Starks, Baltimore Ravens

The Georgia Bulldogs needed to wait until the 27th pick for another player to be called. The Baltimore Ravens selected safety Malaki Starks, the first safety of the draft. He is great at reading receivers, as was shown by his 197 tackles and six interceptions in three seasons at Georgia.

Additionally, one of his biggest strengths is getting down the field quickly and closing effectively as a run defender. Starks will join the Ravens defense as a playmaker. He can play in any alignment, giving the Ravens' defensive staff flexibility when planning their schemes.
