NFL.com's Gil Brandt ranks Georgia's Aaron Murray as the top senior QB.

Alabama's A.J. McCarron checked in at No. 2, with Tajh Boyd, Derek Carr of Fresno State and David Fales rounding out the top five. We would move Boyd and Fales higher on the list, but plenty can change in the next year in terms of evaluations for this quarterback class.

Chargers signed Georgia NT Kwame Geathers.

Geathers (6-5, 342) played predominantly nose tackle in Georgia's 3-4 defense while John Jenkins manned five technique. Though Geathers lacks pass-rush ability, he is strong as an ox and projects as an early-down run stuffer. Geathers totaled 40 tackles -- five for a loss -- and one sack as a junior before bolting to the pros. He has 35 1/4-inch arms and ran a 5.44 in Indy. He'll compete for a roster spot with the Chargers.

Redskins selected Georgia S Bacarri Rambo with the No. 191 overall pick.

Rambo (6-foot-1, 211) is a center-field safety with elite ballhawking ability, intercepting 16 career passes as a 36-game starter for the Dawgs. He also forced six fumbles. Rambo ran forty times of 4.64 and 4.66 with a 34-inch vertical at the UGA Pro Day. Rambo isn't a great tackler and was suspended four games in 2012 for a positive marijuana test, but safeties with cover skills have rising value in the increasingly pass-happy NFL. He could be the Redskins' Week 1 starter at free safety.

Bears selected Georgia DE Cornelius Washington with the No. 188 overall pick.

Washington (6-foot-4, 265) played out of position as a five-technique end in Georgia's 3-4 as a senior, which helped limit him to just 22 tackles -- three for a loss -- and a paltry half-sack across 14 games. He played linebacker in 2011 and posted five sacks. Washington has 34-inch arms and shredded the Combine with a 4.55 forty, 1.60 ten-yard split, 36 bench-press reps and a 39-inch vertical. Washington is a bit of a project, but offers big upside if his talent is harnessed. The Bears are loving test freaks in this draft.
Apr 27 - 4:44 PM

Broncos selected Georgia WR Tavarres King with the No. 161 overall pick.

King (6-foot 1/4, 189) hauled in 42 Aaron Murray passes as a senior for 950 yards (22.6 YPR) and nine touchdowns. He lit up Alabama for 128 yards on five catches in the SEC title game. With legit speed (4.47 forty) to separate from defensive backs and long arms (33") to create a wide catching radius, King looks every bit the part of an NFL No. 2 or low-end No. 1 receiver. King will slide in as the Broncos' No. 4 receiver.
Apr 27 - 3:21 PM

Chiefs selected Georgia CB Sanders Commings with the No. 134 overall pick.

Commings (6-foot 1/8, 216) started 35 games at UGA, recording eight career picks. He ran 4.41 at the Combine with a 34.5-inch vertical. Commings is a classic press-man corner with a thick build, but has a tendency to shy away from contact. He's also had some off-the-field issues, getting suspended for the first two games of 2012 after an offseason domestic violence charge. He won't contribute on defense as a rookie.
Apr 27 - 2:03 PM

Bengals selected Georgia SS Shawn Williams with the No. 84 overall pick.

Williams made 30 starts for Georgia, playing strong safety across from FS Bacarri Rambo. Williams logged 10.5 tackles for loss, and four career picks. He is a run-support maven lacking fluidity and ball skills, but helped himself with a 4.46 forty at the Combine. Williams should have little trouble making an early impact on kickoff and punt coverage.
Apr 26 - 9:49 PM

Saints selected Georgia NT John Jenkins with the No. 82 overall pick.

The Saints moved up to select Jenkins, sending the Nos. 106 and 109 picks to the Dolphins. Jenkins (6-4, 359) is a nimble mover despite mammoth size and flashed pocket-pushing ability for the Dawgs. He tallied eight tackles for loss and four sacks as a two-year starter in Georgia's 3-4, playing both nose and five technique. Jenkins drew pre-draft comparisons to Red Bryant and Shaun Rogers, though Rotoworld prospects guru Josh Norris has described Jenkins as a "teddy bear" who lacks consistent toughness. With the Saints moving to a three man front, Jenkins could rotate at the nose tackle spot.
Apr 26 - 9:45 PM

Rams selected Georgia OLB Alec Ogletree with the No. 30 overall pick.

Ogletree (6-3, 242) is a long-armed (33 1/2"), highly athletic converted safety who racked up 20 career tackles for loss, six sacks, and four forced fumbles as a 22-game college starter. Unfortunately, he's a trainwreck off the field, getting arrested for theft in 2010 and DUI this past February. On it, Ogletree is not an especially physical player but possesses terrific range, both sideline to sideline in the run game and as a cover 'backer versus tight ends and slot receivers. He ran 4.7-flat at the Combine with a 1.6 ten-yard split and did 20 reps on the bench. Some were projecting him as an inside linebacker, but Ogletree does his best work chasing from the weak side and should step into that role for the Rams, along with staying on the field in passing situations.
Apr 25 - 11:34 PM

Steelers selected Georgia OLB Jarvis Jones with the No. 17 overall pick.

It's one of the few picks to go according to plan in one of the wildest drafts in recent memory. Jones (6-2, 245) led the nation in sacks (14.5) and tackles for loss (24.5) as a senior, and paced the SEC in forced fumbles (seven). He scared some evaluators with an early-career spinal condition and 4.92 forty time, but he's been cleared medically and his tape is too good to worry much about his straight-line long speed. Jones explodes off the ball and his motor is relentless. Although slightly undersized, Jones is a readymade 3-4 rush linebacker. He's an ideal replacement for James Harrison, and will be an immediate favorite for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Apr 25 - 10:15 PM

NFL insider Adam Caplan does not think Georgia OLB Jarvis Jones will still be available for the Saints at pick No. 15.

Jones has been associated with the Jets recently, but only a few teams who utilize pass rushing outside linebackers and have a need at the position are picking in front of the Saints. The productive Georgia product has also been linked to the Steelers and the Colts.
Apr 24 - 1:52 PM

ESPN New York's Rich Cimini believes the Jets are unlikely to take a QB in the first-round.

Cimini lists guard Jonathan Cooper, guard Chance Warmack, tight end Tyler Eifert, LSU pass rusher Barkevious Mingo, and Georgia pass rusher Jarvis Jones as possible targets. We find it interesting Tavon Austin's name is not mentioned.
Apr 24 - 11:54 AM

Draft insider Tony Pauline notes Georgia CB Sanders Commings is graded as a solid third-round pick by many teams.

Commings is a pure press man corner, and some have even suggested a possible move to safety. We think Commings projects very well to the Jagaurs in the third-round, but a number of teams could use his services.
Apr 24 - 9:59 AM

NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah writes teams are concerned about Georgia NT John Jenkins keeping his weight in check in the future.

"Jenkins is an enormous man with the power and strength to develop into a dominant 3-4 nose tackle. However, his motor isn't consistently running, and teams are concerned he will struggle to keep his weight in check," Jeremiah writes about Jenkins, who he listed as a boom-or-bust prospect. Jenkins recently lost weight, checking in at 338 pounds. Whether he remains at it or drops even more is in question, however.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora writes teams are "blown away" by Georgia LB Jarvis Jones' film.

"Jarvis Jones has seen specialists for his spinal condition and been on the rise lately, sources said," La Canfora writes. "Teams are more comfortable with the health, have gone back to watch tape and are blown away by the Georgia linebacker. There are knocks on most of the pass rushers in this draft, and I get the sense Jones still goes within the top 17 picks and possibly in the top 10."
