Jerry Jones is still paying the price for missing out on Falcons star in 2023 Draft

The Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a defensive line debacle after they were gashed on the ground by Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday.

Part of their unit is their 2023 first-round pick, Mazi Smith, who was drafted to be a big-bodied run stopper in the middle of the line. However, he has been nothing short of a bust as he was one of the team's gameday inactives despite being healthy.

To make things hurt even more for the Cowboys, they came so close to drafting an offensive lineman who is trending toward being one of the best in the league for the Atlanta Falcons.
