Dallas Cowboys draft picks 2023: Round 1
26th pick - Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan
Jerry Jones and the Cowboys drafted Mazi Smith with the 26th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Many thought that the Cowboys would pursue Dalton Kincaid, but the Buffalo Bills leapfrogged them and got the Utah tight end.
Despite that, Micah Parsons was happy that the Cowboys got Mazi Smith, as the latter is a prolific defensive tackle who played for Michigan in college.
“NO MORE QB SNEAKS AJ!”
@MicahhParsons11 told Cowboys DC Dan Quinn to pick Michigan's Mazi Smith earlier today and IT HAPPENED 😂 https://t.co/nGm62CAnDK

212th pick: Deuce Vaughn, RB, Kansas State
