The Dallas Cowboys made a bold move when they released veteran right tackle La’el Collins this offseason, leaving a hole in the depth chart with the expected elevation of Terence Steele to starter. The team sort of addressed this position once already when they picked Tulsa tackle Tyler Smith with the 24th overall pick; however, many are projecting Smith to move inside and play guard, at least to start his career. The Cowboys opted to double-dip on the offensive line by selecting North Dakota tackle Matt Waletzko with their first of four fifth-round picks (155th overall).
Waletzko hit the ground running at North Dakota, immediately starting at left tackle.
