The first receiver off the board in the 2023 draft wasn’t my WR1 (that was Boston College’s Zay Flowers), but Smith-Njigba, in a receiver room with D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, will turn that passing game into a real problem for every defense facing it. One wonders how it’ll all work with Pete Carroll’s preference for offensive balance, but you have to think the Seahawks were doing all kinds of handstands and cartwheels when Smith-Njigba was available here.
