Assessing Georgia Tech’s 2017 draft candidates

Adam Gotsis and D.J. White continued Georgia Tech’s draft successes, becoming the seventh and eighth former Yellow Jackets selected in the past three drafts. Who might follow in 2017? A look at Tech’s pro possibilities.

Only one offensive lineman recruited by coach Paul Johnson has been drafted – Shaquille Mason. Omoregie Uzzi was probably the second-best lineman in Johnson’s tenure and had a good chance to be drafted, but concerns about his knee prevented him from getting a shot. Burden could well be the second, though.
