UGA players drafted into the NFL

So last Saturday, four former UGA football players were drafted into the NFL. Quentin Moses was the first former Bulldog to get drafted by the Oakland Raiders, who took him in the third round. This was a little disappointing considering he was a top 10 pick going into the last season. The Raiders had a lot of good picks, including the first pick of the draft, JaMarcus Rusell, the QB from LSU. DE Charles Johnson, who was also predicted to go in the first round like Moses, was the 83rd pick, going to the Carolina Panthers. The Atlanta Falcons also drafted a Bulldog alumni, TE Martrez Milner. And finally, the St. Louis Rams took OT Kendrick Shakleford. While the draft was successful for some of our graduating GA Bulldogs, the talent that we have here now is going to far surpass this year's seniors when they go into the draft. I look forward to seeing what happens.
