NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks released his first round NFL mock draft on Wednesday and it saw two UGA football players go on day one.
Jim Thorpe Award winner Deandre Baker, a senior cornerback, goes 26th overall to the Indianapolis Colts in Brooks’ mock draft.
The Jim Thorpe award winner would immediately upgrade the Colts‘ secondary. Speed is a question, but his instincts, awareness and takeaway skills make him a nice fit in the Colts‘ scheme.
Directly following, at the 27th pick, Brooks has the Oakland Raiders selecting UGA wide receiver Riley Ridley.
