The 10 best NFL draft prospects in the Georgia at Alabama game

The Georgia Bulldogs at Alabama Crimson Tide game will feature 12 players ranked among the top 100 prospects of the 2025 NFL draft.

Georgia and Alabama play on Saturday (Sept. 28) at 7:30 p.m. ET in an NFL draft scout’s dream. The winner of the Georgia-Alabama game will be well positioned in the SEC championship and College Football Playoff race while the loser will face an uphill battle to win the SEC.

The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide have produced a ridiculous amount of NFL draft picks in recent years. Draft scouts love to see battles between future NFL players and the field will be fraught with 2025 NFL draft talent in Georgia and Alabama’s latest meeting.

Who are the top 10 NFL draft prospects in the Georgia-Alabama game?

1. Georgia quarterback Carson Beck

Carson Beck is arguably the top quarterback prospect in the draft. Tankathon ranks Beck as their best quarterback. If that’s the case, then don’t be surprised if Beck is the No. 1 pick in the draft.

Ranking: No. 4

2. Georgia pass rusher Mykel Williams

Williams, who is questionable for the game with an ankle injury, is an excellent edge rusher who is capable of playing defensive end or outside linebacker.

Ranking: No. 12

3. Georgia safety Malaki Starks

Starks is a preseason All-SEC first-team selection. Starks is a consistent tackler and has made some acrobatic interceptions over the years.

Ranking: No. 13

4. Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker

Booker is probably Alabama’s top lineman. The 6-foot-5, 325-pound offensive lineman does a good job of generating push in the run game and is one of the best interior linemen in the draft.

Ranking: No. 31

5. Georgia outside linebacker Jalon Walker

Jalon Walker has shot up NFL draft boards this season. Walker is at his best when he is rushing the passer. Look for him to play a ton of snaps against the Crimson Tide.

Ranking: No. 46

6. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe

“When you see him in person on the field, he’s very thick and very hard to tackle but yet has a bazooka for an arm,” said Georgia coach Kirby Smart. Milroe is elusive in the backfield and throws a great deep ball.

Ranking: No. 50

7. Georgia offensive lineman Tate Ratledge

Georgia will be without Tate Ratledge for several weeks. The preseason All-American underwent ankle surgery after the Kentucky game.

Ranking: No. 58

8. Georgia offensive tackle Earnest Greene

Earnest Greene has had some struggles this season but has immense potential. Playing at Alabama represents a big test for Greene and the UGA offensive line.

Ranking: No. 68

9. Georgia tight end Oscar Delp

Oscar Delp has posted modest numbers to start the season but is a versatile tight end who is solid as both a blocker and receiver. NFL teams love Georgia tight ends.

Ranking: No. 69

10. Alabama offensive lineman Parker Brailsford

Brailsford is another key piece along the Alabama offensive front. He may have had his best game yet a couple of weeks ago against Wisconsin.

Ranking: No. 72
