The Dallas Cowboys offensive line is in an interesting place as it still features some prominent players in Tyron Smith and Zack Martin, but is also in need of a reload and replenishment with the future on the horizon. It is the latter reason that seemingly drove the Cowboys to select Tulsa’s Tyler Smith with their first-round pick a week and a half ago. Smith will start at left guard in all likelihood this season and is the heir apparent to Tyron Smith’s long-held left tackle spot. If the transition is as seamless as the Cowboys are talking about it being then they will deserve a lot of credit for the way it all came together.
