I floated the notion a few weeks ago that even though Tyron graded out pretty well, I think the Cowboys OL will benefit from inserting an OT into the mix who can actually get on the field and practice throughout the week.

I think Tyron not being able to practice throughout the week hurt them to some degree on Sundays.
I hear what you’re saying. I just have a hard time believing that a line without Tyron Smith will be better.

A line with Tyler Smith at LT was just as good. But yeah, I expect us to draft someone. The good news is this team is damn good at finding plug and play Olineman. And this draft is as good as any I can remember on the Oline.

Now Tolbert as your third WR, Mazi as your NT, no one at RB or Sam Williams as your third/second DE (I guess it depends what you think Parsons is) those are concerning. Because you won't be able to take those positions in the first.

Right now Duece is your starting RB. So yeah, first round Oline, second round RB. Feels a bit boxed in right now.

Tyler-Bass-1st rounder-Martin-Steele would be just fine. And if the organization thinks Bass could play center then maybe you could see something like Tyler-1st rounder-Bass-Martin-Steele, or potentially 1st-Tyler-Bass-Martin-Steele.

The problem is there's little to no depth, and of course the primary issue is the fact that these dumb assholes haven't spent more than about two red cents of what they've saved by letting 5 starters walk.

If they draft a stud center I think that Oline is better than last year. Tyler was drafted to be a stud LT. The guy played LT his whole rookie year and looked like a stud. Put him there, leave him there and enjoy a probowl Smith at LT for another decade.

I'm really not sure why everyone acts like Tyler Smith isn't an excellent option at LT.
Its not that everybody doesnt think that. Its just that everybody has seen the Cowboys be stubborn about moving him. Until that move actually happens LT is going to be a big question mark.

I am not sure why the organization feels the same way.
My hope is that they are just hiding it really well. I can't imagine they are letting Tryon leave thinking they have no LT on the roster. The flexibility of Tyler is nice though. Means you can draft a center, guard or tackle to fix the problem. As opposed to having to draft a LT.

It just sucks that we are now telegraphing OL in the first.

Welp, if it wasn’t a full rebuild before it is now. So far we have lost our C,LT,RB,Wr,LB,CB and all are starters. We’re all in though. We are in straight up tank mode.

We lost a starting WR and LBer? You really think Gallup and LVE were starters? LVE played 5 games. Gallup was barely even our third WR last year and was awful.

LT, Center and RB I get. Corner is borderline but is Gilmore gone? Plus we lose Gilmore but by that shitty logic we gain a probowl corner in Diggs.

The DL needs work, we only lost Armstrong and Gallimore but we needed more at DT to begin with and now need a rotational edge rusher as well.
