Georiga coach Kirby Smart will attend the 2018 NFL Draft Thursday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, along with Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith.

Smith, one of 22 prospects attending the draft, is projected to be drafted early in Thursday's first round.

If selected in the top 10, Smith would be the fifth defensive player from Georgia to be drafted in the Top 10 in the common draft era following former Bulldogs Leonard Floyd, Johnathan Sullivan, Richard Seymour and Champ Bailey.

The first round of the 2018 NFL Draft begins at 8 p.m. Thursday and can be watched on ESPN, ESPN2 and the NFL Network.
