CBS writer Josh Edwards released his first 2025 NFL mock draft on Thursday, Sept. 5. Edwards has Georgia Bulldogs defensive end Mykel Williams going as the No. 1 pick to the New England Patriots in the 2025 NFL draft.

Williams would land in a perfect situation to be the leading pass rusher for the Patriots, who just traded Matt Judon to the Atlanta Falcons. The Patriots' only former Georgia Bulldog is center David Andrews, so Williams could be New England's latest first round pick from Georgia.

Three other Georgia Bulldogs were selected in the first round of his mock draft including Georgia quarterback Carson Beck.

Carson Beck, 6th overall, Las Vegas Raiders

With this selection, Beck would reunite with his best pass-catcher ever in tight end Brock Bowers. He would be the highest quarterback taken by the Raiders since JaMarcus Russell, but his situation with the Raiders would be solid, with both Bowers and Davante Adams to throw to, along with a running game led by former Bulldog Zamir White and a coach that led the Raiders to a 5-4 record as an interim.

Malaki Starks: 23rd overall, Dallas Cowboys

Starks is the No. 1 safety prospect according to CBS. He'd find himself in a decent landing spot with Dallas. They have a few safeties that are solid, but Starks would be an upgrade for that secondary.

Jalon Walker: 24th overall, Green Bay Packers

The Packers already have a ton of Georgia Bulldogs on their roster, all on the defense. Walker would be joining linebacker Quay Walker in the linebacker core and Green Bay could use more of Georgia's national championship experience.
