The Dallas Cowboys have built a reputation for hitting home runs in the first round of the NFL draft regarding offensive linemen. Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, and Zack Martin are good examples. In 2022, the Cowboys decided to pick Tyler Smith at No. 24, which left many fans scratching their heads.
My oh my, how the tables can get turned.
Since draft night, Smith has played 17 games at left tackle as a rookie and turned into an All-Pro/Pro Bowl player at left guard. As Tyron Smith leaves in free agency and Zack Martin on the back half of his career, Tyler is now an integral part of the offensive line moving into the future.
