2023 NFL Mock Draft: Philadelphia Eagles add edge rusher

You all messed up.

You all messed up really bad. If the Eagles have the 30th pick and Nolan Smith is still on the board, I would expect Howie Roseman to shut off every phone in the war room and sprint to the podium.

Let’s start off with what stands out immediately about Nolan Smith: he’s an athletic freak. He ran a 4.39 40-yard dash at the Combine, he jumped 128” in the broad jump, and had a 41.5” vertical jump. That is good for 95th percentile amongst EDGE rushers in all the major categories. This athleticism shows up on his game tape, as he has elite burst and bend as well as the ability to completely blow by every OT you put in front of him.
