Dallas Cowboys Select Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton!
After letting veteran left tackle Tyron Smith walk away in free agency this offseason, the Cowboys had a big need to replace him.selected Tyler Guyton, offensive tackle from Oklahoma. There was a little bit of irony involved as the team that has waited all offseason to make any serious roster improvements made their fans wait a little longer when they traded out of their original pick at No. 24 overall and moved back five spots before landing Guyton.
While Guyton is thought to be somewhat raw as a prospect, there’s no denying his skillset. He possesses elite size, athleticism, feet, power, and movement with room to grow. He isn’t the most polished tackle in the draft, but few have Guyton’s upside. This selection will also be discussed for years to come for who they didn’t select at No. 24 overall as much as for who they ended up with at No. 29. The team had arguably the best center in the draft staring them in the face when they came on the clock with their original pick, but Dallas elected to trade back.
A glaring one of those needs, however, was center where Dallas lost starter Tyler Biadasz to free agency, so Barton might have been the choice had they decided not to trade, but the value of getting another third-round pick was too good to pass up, and ending up with Guyton is a nice consolation prize.
