2023 NFL Draft Preview: Scouting report on Georgia edge Nolan Smith

Seattle could address the position via free agency but does not have the needed cap space to add an impact edge, assuming they address other positions. This year’s 2023 draft class is loaded with high ceiling/floor edge rushers, most of whom we have covered heavily. In this article we are going to cover another in Georgia edge rusher Nolan Smith.
