The biggest news to this point of the Dallas Cowboys offseason broke yesterday; the team is unlikely to bring All-Pro Tyron Smith back in 2024.
This ends a 13-year tenure in Dallas for the future Hall of Famer, opening up a massive weakness at left tackle.
The talk now is whether Dallas will shift All-Pro Guard Tyler Smith out to left tackle.

Another option for the Cowboys is to fill Smith’s shoes at left tackle with a rookie in the first round, considering just how talented the tackle class is in this draft. There could be up to nine tackles taken in the first round this year.
We have seen how good Dallas is at developing offensive linemen, and their confidence in building up one of these prospects may be the real reason behind moving on from Smith.
I have no doubt that money is an issue for them, even though it does not need to be, but it is far from a coincidence that they are moving on now with as stacked as this offensive tackle class is.
Three tackle prospects in particular make the most sense for Dallas as they start the search for Smith’s successor.
Let’s take a look at these three first-round options for the Cowboys.
