Tyler Smith, the Dallas Cowboys' 2022 first-round pick, has become one of the premier guards in the NFL, and he is still only 23 years old.
If there’s one area in which the Dallas Cowboys have excelled during the NFL Draft over the years, it's selecting offensive linemen in the first round.
Since 2011, the team has selected Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, Zack Martin, Tyler Smith, and Tyler Guyton in Round 1. While Guyton has yet to play a snap in the NFL, the five previous picks were all home runs., who was originally seen as a left tackle prospect to eventually replace Tyron Smith. Instead, he moved inside to left guard and has excelled. Dallas decided to keep him at guard, which is a wise move, according to Zoltán Buday of Pro Football Focus.
As a rookie, Smith learned left guard throughout camp and the preseason. He then moved to tackle out of necessity when Josh Ball was unable to replace an injured Tyron Smith. In 2023, Smith moved back to left guard and had a great season despite playing through a foot injury. Now healthy and ready to focus on one position, Smith might be preparing for his best season yet.
