Why the Cowboys should at least entertain the idea of moving Tyler Smith to left tackle

Tyler Smith is an All-Pro guard. Watching him pummel defenders in the trenches has become a glorious sight over the past two seasons. The Dallas Cowboys drafted the Tulsa tackle 24th overall in 2022 with the intentions of sliding him inside to play guard; however, an injury to Tyron Smith forced him to man the edge during his rookie season. There were some bumps along the way, but the then 21-year-old held up admirably at the most important position on the offensive line.

The following year, when Tyron Smith was back, Tyler took over the left guard spot and flourished.
