Perhaps the biggest surprise of all the Cowboys’ 2025 draft picks was the first one, Alabama guard Tyle Booker. He walks in as a new starter, presumably replacing Zack Martin at right guard. But while that’s the natural assumption, another possibility is out there which could lead to greater change across the offensive line.
Booker played left guard for the Crimson Tide last season. Transitioning OL positions upon entering the NFL is hardly uncommon; Martin himself was a left tackle at Notre Dame but immediately went to RG in Dallas. Tyler Smith was also a LT at Tulsa but immediately moved to guard as a pro.
