2023 NFL Draft: Top 5 Georgia superstars who could be drafted in the first-round ft. Jalen Carter

The Georgia Bulldogs won their second consecutive National Championship on Monday. They crushed TCU 65-7.

The Bulldogs' 2022 roster will soon be decimated. Many of their key players will declare for the upcoming NFL Draft.

NFL analysts believe multiple Bulldogs alumni will be taken by franchises in the early rounds of the draft. Some are being touted as top-10 prospects.

2023 NFL Draft top Georgia prospects

#5 - Broderick Jones

Arkansas v Georgia

Offensive tackle Broderick Jones is likely to be selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Protecting the blindside of quarterback Stetson Bennett, Jones was excellent for the Bulldogs in the National Championship.

In the Bulldogs' Peach Bowl win over Ohio State, he lined up for 40 pass blocking snaps and allowed just one pressure.

Elite left tackles are at a premium in the NFL. This may help Jones' draft stock as he looks to be a first-round pick.

#4 - Nolan Smith

2022 CFP National Championship

Despite suffering a torn pec that ended his season prematurely, edge rusher Nolan Smith could also be taken in the first round.

He's only 235 pounds, but that will not deter teams from overlooking Smith's potential. Smith was one of the most athletic players in the NCAA this past season.

Look for Smith to wow scouts with his intangibles at this year's NFL Combine.

#3 - Darnell Washington

2023 CFP National Championship - TCU v Georgia

Bulldogs tight end Darnell Washington is another prospect who could be a first-round pick. He didn't exactly put up big numbers this past season. But some see that as a playcalling issue, which is out of Washington's control.

He's an athletic freak. Athleticism is something you need to be a successful tight end nowadays. Washington is more than happy to catch passes or block for his team. It's safe to assume a team will take a chance on him in the early stages of the draft.

#2 - Kelee Ringo

2022 CFP National Championship - Georgia v Alabama

Kelee Ringo is seen by many as the top cornerback prospect in this year's draft. He is projected to be a top-10 pick.

At 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, he's big for a cornerback. But he is very fast for his size. He runs a 4.3 in the 40-yard dash. With the number of excellent wide receivers in the NFL, elite cornerbacks are more valuable than ever. Ringo has the potential to become that.

#1 - Jalen Carter

2023 CFP National Championship - TCU v Georgia

Seen by many as the top prospect in the entire class, defensive tackle Jalen Carter will certainly be a first-round selection. Carter is 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds. He's one of the most exciting defensive lineman prospects in years.

Prior to the National Championship, Carter had a 90.1 pass rush grade and 91.1 run defense grade, according to PFF. Those scores will be music to the ears of teams picking early on in the 2023 draft.
