With the College Football Playoffs in full swing, NFL scouts are set to be all over the nation in preparation for the 2026 NFL Draft. The Sugar Bowl, featuring Georgia and Ole Miss, will feature several potential first-round picks and a host of draftable talents vying for superior capital.
Here are the Georgia Bulldogs who scouts will be watching:
Christen Miller, DT
PFSN Defensive Tackle Impact: 75.9, C
Christen Miller’s consistency and production are still coming along. Still, the 6’4″, 315-pound defensive lineman has some of the heaviest hands in the class, and he flashes the requisite linear explosiveness and short-area twitch to supplement pass-rush upside. He could return, but he carries a top-50 grade on my board.
CJ Allen, LB
PFSN Linebacker Impact: 81.8, B-
The Bulldogs’ highest-rated 2026 NFL Draft prospect on PFSN’s board is linebacker CJ Allen. Allen has had a stellar 2025 campaign, accumulating 85 tackles, eight tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, four pass breakups, and two forced fumbles, and he’s firmly on the radar as a high-level future MIKE.
Though Allen is only average size at 6’1″, 235 pounds, he compensates with his relentless physicality, and his specialization is as an uber-intelligent read-and-react defender with gap-thwarting instincts, rapid closing speed, and a playmaking imprint that never fades.
Daylen Everette, CB
PFSN Cornerback Impact: 79.4, C+
Daylen Everette has underachieved at times in his career at Georgia, but his blend of youth, size, vertical athleticism, and experience will earn the appeal of zone-oriented teams. He’s started 40 games across his career, and is a natural off-man and side-saddle player with good underlying physicality.
Dillon Bell, WR
PFSN Wide Receiver Impact: 73.9, C
Dillon Bell has never eclipsed 500 yards or four scores in a season, but he’s the type of WR who could earn an extended opportunity as a PFA. At 6’1″, 210 pounds, he has a solid blocking profile, and he flashes good stem work and route operation against off-man.
Earnest Greene III, OL (Tackle)
PFSN Offensive Line Impact: 76, C
A starter of 34 games to this point, Earnest Greene III could field interest as a potential Day 3 pick with positional flex if he declares.

He also has eligibility remaining if he wishes to return. With his high-cut frame and slight hip stiffness, he projects better at guard, but his mass, hand power, and leverage stand out.
Gunner Stockton, QB
PFSN Quarterback Impact: 88, B+
The Georgia Bulldogs, under Kirby Smart, have long excelled at developing lesser-heralded passers into high-quality SEC starters. Stetson Bennett was the latest iteration, and Gunner Stockton has followed his lead toward becoming a true plus starter at the collegiate level.
In truth, Stockton fits the definition of a better college QB than a pro prospect. Still, there’s merit to his evaluation as an eventual backup and potential spot-starter at the professional level. He’s a capable game manager who can take what’s given, move the pocket, compete as a runner, and rifle passes into tight middle-field windows.
JaCorey Thomas, SAF
PFSN Safety Impact: 74, C
JaCorey Thomas isn’t an overly productive or rangy playmaker in coverage, but teams will be enthralled by his exceedingly low missed tackle rate (just 3.6% in 2025 per TruMedia). He has a degree of role versatility in split-field and box looks, and his special teams profile is strong at the next level.
Micah Morris, OL (Guard)
PFSN Offensive Line Impact: 81.8, B-
Micah Morris was a reserve for most of his five-year career at Georgia, but started five games in 2024 and became a full-time starter in 2025. At 6’4″, 330 pounds, he can be a bit slow-footed and stiff at times, but he’s a heavy-handed interior blocker whose anchor strength can make him tough to dislodge from gaps or on power rushes.
Monroe Freeling, OL (Tackle)
PFSN Offensive Line Impact: 76.8, C
Monroe Freeling was a highly touted recruit who has morphed into a second-team All-SEC performer and a likely early-round pick in the NFL Draft, whether in 2026 or 2027. On my board, he’s OT7 in the 2026 NFL Draft and a top-50 prospect.
At 6’7″, 315 pounds, Freeling has a tantalizing blend of athleticism, power drive, and flexibility when recovering ground and anchoring. The tools are there for him to grow into a potentially dominant NFL tackle, and if he returns, he has first-round upside in 2027.
Noah Thomas, WR
PFSN Wide Receiver Impact: N/A
Noah Thomas was a highly-touted four-star recruit at Texas A&M, and while his stock has steadily cooled year-over-year, the 6’5″, 205-pound WR still has a clear proficiency as a red zone threat.

He has four TDs on just 16 catches in 2025, and has snagged a TD on over 20% of his career catches.
Oscar Delp, TE
PFSN Tight End Impact: 78.5, C+
Oscar Delp has all the makings of a TE prospect who’ll be an even better pro player. At 6’5″, 243 pounds, he has the streamlined size, length, and explosive athleticism to make offensive coordinators drool, and that’s even before you factor in his elite blocking element and RAC potential.
As a receiver, Delp is more of a projection than a proven commodity, but he nonetheless shows promise there. When he is targeted, he doesn’t drop the ball often, he can splice up seams and find soft spots in zone looks, and he can make high-difficulty catches with smooth body control. I’m standing on a hill with him as my TE2, and I’m comfortable with it.
Raylen Wilson, LB
PFSN Linebacker Impact: 73, C
Accompanying Allen on the second level of Georgia’s defense, Raylen Wilson operates more as a run-and-chase linebacker. In that role, however, he shows promise, having accumulated 117 tackles, 12.5 TFLs, and four sacks over the past two seasons. His closing speed and proportional length, in particular, should earn the allure of scouts.
Zachariah Branch, WR
PFSN Wide Receiver Impact: 85.6, B
Quietly, Zachariah Branch has a top-five college WR Impact grade in PFSN’s database. The 5’10”, 180-pound WR has always been an absolute spark-plug as an athlete and RAC threat, but he’s sneakily very sound at the catch point, and he has the building blocks to further develop his route tree.
