Cowboys news: Hot takes and predictions following the Dallas draft

The Cowboys drafting Mazi Smith and DeMarvion OVershown was just the start of them targeting scheme fits for Dan Quinn’s defense.

DeMarvion Overshown Will Outshine Mazi Smith in Year 1

There’s a lot to like about Mazi Smith, a physical phenom with a ton of size (6’3”, 323 lbs) and power. However, consistency and polish are not among the Michigan product’s best traits.

“The Wolverine is more traits and tools than a finished project, but it’s going to be hard to find more defensive tackles with more potential than he has, meaning his best football could be ahead of him,” Matt Holder of the Bleacher Report Scouting Department wrote.
