Jaylon Smith Will Make the Cowboys Look Like Geniuses

The Dallas Cowboys shocked the world when they selected Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Many “experts” were quick to call the pick a mistake, saying Smith would have been available in the latter portion of the draft. However, the it was a good risk-reward gamble for the Cowboys, and it looks like they will come away with the last laugh.

Smith was considered a top five player in this draft before he tore his ACL and MCL in this past Fiesta Bowl, causing nerve damage in his knee and his draft stock to plummet.
