FRISCO (SILVER STAR NATION) — Dallas Cowboys Owner and General Manager Jerry Jones spoke to fans at The Star in Frisco Thursday night after they turned in Tulsa offensive tackle Tyler Smith’s draft card. According to Jones, Smith was the 16th overall pick on their draft board, which would technically make him a steal at pick 24. Many analysts had Smith as a second or third round pick due to his need for development. The pick was not widely loved by “Dallas Cowboys twitter”, but Smith said people have underestimated him his entire playing career. They’re trying to take food out of my teammates mouths.”When speaking of Smith, Jones said it’s “eerie to me the similarities” between the Cowboys’ first round pick and another offensive lineman, drafted in the first round, with the last name Smith.
