Georgia had one first-round pick (7 points), two second-round picks (12), three third-rounders (15), one fifth (3), one in the sixth (2) and a seventh-round pick (1).
Trailing Georgia is rival Florida, which finished fifth with 35 points. Other teams of note include Clemson checking in sixth, LSU at eighth, Auburn tied for 30th and Tennessee tied for – wait for it – 35th with 7 points and two draft picks.
