The Cowboys got a great deal with Jaylon Smith because he wanted to be “A Cowboy for life” is his Contract CRAZY or CREATIVE???
When the Dallas Cowboys drafted Jaylon Smith with the 34th overall pick in 2016, it was met with a lot of apprehension as some felt it was a wasted pick. After all, Smith had just suffered a gruesome knee injury in the Fiesta Bowl, and it was unclear if he would ever play football again. The injury moved Smith down the draft boards; however, the Cowboys were still high on the Notre Dame linebacker despite knowing he wouldn’t be ready to play football anytime soon. Thanks to some great detective work from this super-cool Cowboys website, we just so happen to know that Smith was the fifth-ranked player on the Cowboys draft board.
From the moment the Cowboys started watching tape on Smith, they were intrigued, causing them to thoroughly investigate the matter. What they found was not just an incredibly talented linebacker, but a guy who was just an incredible person that if it was humanly possible to comeback from such a devastating knee injury, he was the guy to do it.
The Cowboys front office passed up on several great options when they were on the clock in the second round, including Myles Jack, who was another collegiate star linebacker with knee concerns. Obviously Jack had more to offer for the immediate future, but who’s looking like the better choice now?
