A team coming off a 12-5 season, as the Cowboys did in 2023, may reach a half-a-round or so to take a defensive tackle like Mazi Smith causes to plug a need. It may come back in the second round and done the same with Luke Schoonmaker when he was the last tight end standing on his plateau in that draft.

The Cowboys will make seven selections on day three of the draft, and these 10 players make sense to hear their name called by Dallas.
