The Dallas Cowboys have always been great at drafting players to contribute immediately. Unfortunately, their reputation took a hit last season after the 2023 class didn’t meet their expectations.
Mazi Smith didn’t flash as fans hoped, Luke Schoonmaker battled through injury to start his season, and DeMarvion Overshown was sidelined before the year began. Overshown’s timeline back to the field could be as early as training camp, but Smith and Schoonmaker are recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, so their timeline is a little murky. “Recovering from surgery” is not exactly the headline fans want to see in hopes of a bounce-back season.
