Georgia: Where Some Top Bulldogs Prospects Could Be Drafted

Author Jeff Gorra

The end of the college football season certainly came as a surprise for the Georgia Bulldogs and their fans. After almost three complete seasons of going undefeated, the two teams left out of the college football playoff will faceoff in the Orange Bowl, with Georgia playing Florida State on December 30. It’s also time to turn our attention to where some of the Georgia Bulldogs prospects could be selected in the NFL draft this coming April.

Of course, it’s always speculation. As we turn the calendars to 2024, the draft discussion will only heat up. Mock drafts will continue to appear, more players will declare themselves eligible, and the combine will take place. All of this changes the order in which analysts project who will be drafted and where.

The past two seasons an exceptional amount of Georgia players were drafted. In fact, the Philadelphia Eagles have essentially become the Georgia Bulldogs North. Right after the draft last year, USA Today detailed the six Eagles players who are former Bulldogs.

As we inch towards the NFL draft, aka the most wonderful time of the year, let’s take a look at current Bulldogs who could be first-round picks in the upcoming 2024 draft.

Brock Bowers

You can’t start this list without Bowers being the first name we discuss. Even coming off a season marked with injuries, Bowers is going to be a top pick. He is the best tight end in the upcoming draft. Which NFL teams need a tight end? Let’s rephrase: which NFL team that will be drafting within the first 15 picks need a tight end? The two New York teams come to mind. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could certainly use offensive help, as could the Tennessee Titans. This is a quarterback-heavy draft, so the expectation is that much of the first ten picks will revolve around quarterback movement. On the clock here, we will go with the New York Jets somewhere around pick 8.

Amarius Mims

One of the best all-around tackles in this draft will need to officially declare himself eligible, but it is widely believed Mims will do so. If you need a reminder, Mims is six foot-seven and about 340 pounds. He is likely a late first-round pick. The Chicago Bears, Jets, and Cincinnati Bengals are just some of the teams in need of a stud tackle. Mims will most likely be the fifth or sixth tackle off the board.

Honorable Mention

For teams looking for a slot receiver, Ladd McConkey is as good as it gets. He’s a grinder who is unafraid to take on the tough routes over the middle. This is deep draft in terms of larger-sized receivers that will likely go ahead of McConkey. If many of them (like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Rome Odunze) go early, McConkey could find himself bounce up to the late first round. The Taylor Swift-endorsed Kansas City Chiefs could use some help for Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. So, the Georgia Bulldogs top WR would be a great NFL fit if the Chiefs take him in the draft.

Georgia Destination Named A Best Tiny House Hotel

A recent report by Shermans Travel detailed the 10 best Tiny House hotels in America, and a Georgia destination made the list. “Tiny homes are one of the hottest residential design trends right now,” they explain.

In addition, Realtor.com published a story last year that gave readers a glimpse of what exactly is going on with the Tiny House trend in America. But what is a Tiny House? Typically, they are 100 to 400 square feet. Many of them (though not a requirement) are situated in quieter areas. It is very common to find tiny home communities tucked within nature, in a peaceful and serene setting.

Other common attributes include creative ways to establish storage space and loft beds. They are often energy-efficient simply due to the smaller footprint requiring less utility power.

“If you’re considering the tiny-home lifestyle, take it for a test drive before you hire a builder and go all-in,” Realtor explained. That is another reason why having such Tiny House hotel options is helpful. It gives those who are interested a chance to try it out.

Live A Little Chatt – Rising Fawn, Georgia

Located just 30 miles outside Chattanooga, Live A Little Chatt has three Tiny Houses on the property to stay at. “It’s evident that each was built with love and intention,” Shermans Travel explains. The Old Blue Chair house accommodates up to five guests, while the Shangri-Little and Wandering Gypsy can sleep three people.

Visitors to Rising Fawn Georgia are in close proximity to Cloudland Canyon State Park. That’s where you will find hiking trails and two waterfalls. However, there is also nothing wrong with staying on the hotel grounds to embrace the simple environment around you to unwind fully.

Each of the three options at this Georgia destination that was named in the list of best Tiny House hotels is uniquely different from each other. “We strive to give you the place to find your bliss and live deliberately.” Live A Little Chatt says.
