Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith to announce Cowboys 3rd round pick

The league's all-time leading rusher is slated to make the Dallas Cowboys third round selection.

Headed into Day 2 (rounds 2 and 3) of the NFL Draft, the Cowboys are slated to pick twice: the 56th pick in the second round and 88th pick in the third round. Smith will announce the player selected with the 88th pick.
