The NFL 2023/23 draft is off to a blistering start with franchises having made crucial first round picks in a bid to improve their team ahead of the new season. The Dallas Cowboys who have seven draft picks to make opened their account in sensational fashion, by selecting Mazi Smith as the 26th overall pick.

Smith who is a defensive tackle played his college football for the Michigan, and made history by becoming the first defensive tackle to be selected by the Cowboys since 1991. The move might have come as a bit of a shock to few enthusiasts, given the franchise’s draft strategy in the past.

The Cowboys have failed to build up a good defense ever since the appointment of head coach Mike McCarthy, and this selection could prove instrumental in helping them take care of their defensive plays in the upcoming season.

The Cowboys and the Eagles share a fierce rivalry in the NFC East division, and Parsons has made an early statement of intent by provoking Brown on a personal level. Smith
