— Todd Archer (@toddarcher) July 30, 2014 Smith was the Cowboys’ top pick in the 2011 draft, coming in ninth overall out of USC. He made the NFL’s All-Rookie team in 2011, was second-team All-Pro in 2012 and a Pro Bowler in 2013. Dallas needs stability on its offensive line, and it has finally found a rising star who can be the anchor.
