The Cowboys invested three first round draft picks on the offensive line in 2011, 2013 and 2014 drafting tackle Tyron Smith, center Travis Frederick and guard Zack Martin. All three would become All-Pros and help bring the Cowboys back to relevance in winning the NFC East in 2014.
The Cowboys offensive line gained a well deserved reputation for dominating their opponents helping former running back DeMarco Murray lead the league in rushing in 2014. Pro Football Focus rated the offensive line as the best in the NFL that year.
