Day 3 of the NFL Draft is typically where teams typically go about the business of finding the “best player available.”

Regarding Sedrick Van Pran, the Buffalo Bills obviously feel the former Georgia center is a perfect fit.

The Bills selected Van Pran with the 141st pick of the fifth round on Saturday’s final day of the NFL Draft.

Later in the sixth round, the Atlanta Falcons took defensive lineman Zion Logue in the sixth round with the 19th overall pick

Van Pran and Logue because the sixth and seventh Bulldogs selected thus far, joining tight end Brock Bowers (first round, Las Vegas), offensive lineman Amarius Mims (first round, Cincinnati), wide receiver Ladd McConkey (second round, Los Angeles Chargers), safety Javon Bullard (second round, Green Bay), Kamari Lassiter (second round, Houston), and safety Tykee Smith (third round, Tampa Bay).

A three-year starter for the Bulldogs, Van Pran earned first-team All-SEC and second-team All-American honors. He also earned the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, signifying the best blocker in the SEC.

During his Georgia career, Van Pran became one of the key leaders, not just on the offensive line, but for the entire team.

Last year, Van Pran was part of an offensive line that ranked first in the SEC and seventh nationally in sacks allowed (0.93). He helped Georgia’s offense finish second in the SEC and fifth in the nation in total offense (496.5), offensive passing efficiency (168.21), and scoring offense (40.1).

Last year, Logue started 10 games for the Bulldogs, collecting 17 tackles with 2.5 loss, including half of a sack.

Logue played in 14 of 15 games and made six starts.

Free Agent Update: Later Saturday, running back Daijun Edwards signed with Pittsburgh, while Kendall Milton signed with Philadelphia. Defensive end Tramel Walthour signed with Baltimore. Later, wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint signed with the Washington Commanders.
