Here is a 2023 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Dallas Cowboys:

Round 1 (No. 26 overall) — Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan: The first-team All-Big Ten performer topped The Athletic's famed "Freaks List" last year, so that says plenty about his physical prowess. And Smith (6-3, 323) showed off his standout strength in Indy (34 reps on the 225-pound bench), and that will come in handy as he tries to suck up blocks and inside rushes between edge rushers Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence in Big D.

Round 2 (58) — Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan: "America's Team" adds to its tight end depth after failing to re-sign Dalton Schultz in free agency. Schoonmaker (6-5, 251) probably won't remind anyone of Schultz, totaling 52 catches over the past two seasons, but should provide more as a blocker. Draft tracker

Round 3 (90) — DeMarvion Overshown, LB, Texas: At 6-3, 229, a rangy defender who could find himself in coverage at the second level while Micah Parsons is hunting quarterbacks. A former safety, Overshown should offer some nice versatility. Draft tracker

Round 4 (129) —Viliami Fehoko Jr., DE, San Jose State Draft tracker

Round 5 (169, compensatory) — Asim Richards, OT, North Carolina Draft tracker

Round 6 (178, from Bears through Dolphins and Chiefs) — Eric Scott, CB, Southern Miss Draft tracker

Round 6 (212, compensatory) — Deuce Vaughn, RB, Kansas State Draft tracker

Round 7 (244) — Jalen Brooks, WR, South Carolina Draft tracker
