When the Cowboys drafted Mazi Smith with their first-round pick, they essentially fortified their defense. A defensive unit headlined by standout after standout on the periphery, was dangerously lacking in the middle. No longer.
At 6-foot-3, 323 pounds, Smith is expected to slide into the rotation almost immediately. The DT from Michigan was No. 1 on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List because he possessed qualities that not only translate to the NFL, but stand out in the NFL. With the defensive line seemingly settled and the Cowboys setting their sights on other opportunities for improvement, a few positions stand as out Dallas’ top remaining needs on Day 2.
