Check this guy out, sounds like exactly what we would need to give us a top notch run defense… may be able to get him in the second round if we move up a few spots…
In Daniel Jeremiah’s most new mock draft for NFL.com, he has Dallas going "wide-body'' with the 26th overall pick being used on Mazi Smith of Michigan.
Writes Jeremiah: “Smith has generated a lot of buzz in personnel circles for his combination of athleticism and power. His best football is ahead of him and he’d fill a need in Dallas.”
As always, we hate the idea of "drafting for need,'' so the bigger question that the Cowboys must answer as they build their board is whether the 6-3, 320-pound Smith is legitimately the 26th-best player in the NFL Draft.
He is a power guy; He topped D-lineman at the Scouting Combine with 34 bench press reps. He's also got athletic burst, as Michigan’s Pro Day had him with a 29.5-inch vertical jump and am 8-feet. 11-inch broad jump.
And what about his speed?
Said Smith in explaining why he skipped that test: “I’m good at football, man. I ain’t no 100-meter sprinter.”

That's quite the assumption. Insert jump to conclusions map.
Lol. Jawohl.
