The NFL Draft is over with 13 Georgia players hearing their names called over the past three days.
That includes seven who were selected on Saturday’s Day 3, which started with Arian Smith become the first selected on the afternoon.
The New York Jets chose the wide receiver with the eighth pick in the fourth round Saturday afternoon.
Trevor Etienne heads to Carolina
There would be more to come.
After Etienne went in the fourth, defensive lineman Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins (139th pick overall) went with the first pick of the fifth round to Minnesota.
Later in the fifth round, linebacker Smael Mondon (161st pick overall) joined his former teammates at Philadelphia.
In the sixth round, another team famous for taking Georgia players - Green Bay - selected defensive lineman Warren Brinson with the 198th pick in the sixth round.
Dan Jackson made it No. 7 on Day 3 for Georgia.
Despite not receiving an invite to the NFL Combine, the Detroit Lions did not care as they took the former Bulldog safety in the seventh round with the 230th overall pick.
Later, Jackson was as joined in Detroit, by wide receiver Dominic Lovett, who the Lions took in the seventh with pick No. 244.
They are the second and third Bulldogs to go to the Lions, who chose Tate Ratledge in Friday’s second round.
It’s already been a busy draft for the Bulldogs.
On Thursday, Mykel Williams became the first Georgia player selected when the San Francisco 49ers took the defensive end with the 11th overall pick.
He was followed four picks later by Jalon Walker, who became the first Bulldog to ever be taken by the home-state Atlanta Falcons in the first two rounds since the franchise came into existence in 1966.
Later, safety Malaki Starks became Georgia’s third first-round selection when the Baltimore Ravens took the Jefferson native with the 27th pick.
On Friday, guard Ratledge went to Detroit before offensive line teammate Dylan Fairchild surprised most of the experts by going to Cincinnati in the third round. Center Jared Wilson later went to New England in the third round.
