The Dallas Cowboys have never feared being bold, and they proved that yet again when they turned the NFL draft upside down in the 2nd round.
Jaylon Smith was one of the heartbreaking situations of the draft, having suffered a devastating knee injury at the end of the year. That didn’t seem to scare the Cowboys, who are gambling he’ll become the All-Pro he can be.
Jaylon Smith is off the board. To the Cowboys. At No. 34. That's a wow moment early on Night 2.

Here is what the Mocks scouting network says the Cowboys will be adding to their defense.
"When Jaylon Smith is on the attack he’s hard to beat, he’s lightning quick and is one of the best form tacklers I’ve seen this year. That’s not to say he can’t bring the hammer either take a look at this hit by a missile seeker. That’s a 6’5 245 pound Quarterback that Smith stopped in his tracks, good luck getting anything past this guy. Smith isn’t subject to one position although I feel with his ability to stop the run as well as cover he’s best suited for the middle linebacker position but he can run well in just about any scheme. The point for his next coach is to make sure this kid is on the field in any way, shape or form. He’s a guy who comes in without any off the field problems and if you have to question whether his school and teammates love him."
