5 defensive players taken in first round. I wonder if that has happened before.

And I think the Big-12 got shutout

And not a single one of those was Nakobe Dean, arguably the best football player in the bunch. (Likely slid due to fetishization of combine measurements, plus perhaps being a brilliant, decent Renaissance Man doesn't appeal to some NFL teams)

The 2021 Georgia defense will go down as one of the most legendary units in the history of the sport. And it's not like it was all projection and not dominant college play. Against SEC competition and playoff competition on the way to the national championship, they gave up 10 points per game. Insane.

Would have to put it with 2011 Alabama and early 2000s Miami I think.

Dean rumored to have a torn pec tendon as being the reason for his draft slide.  [Dean still a big whiff by Hansen & Lance.]

recall going into the 2021 season, the big question marks about UGA concerned its defense, as they had a lot of new starters (6 D players were drafted in 2021).  they are facing similar question going into 2022 after having 8 D players drafted.

meanwhile our coach speaks of appeasement to the few fans who want to see wins and/or an entertaining product on the field.
