The last time the Dallas Cowboys drafted an offensive lineman in the first round, their bevy of blockers was in transition. Eight years later, that's the case again.
Thursday night, adding to a once-dominant line that is replacing two starters and could have issues with others.
The first of those choices was eight-time Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith at No. 9 overall in 2011, followed by Travis Frederick late in the first round in 2013 and five-time All-Pro right guard Zack Martin in the middle of the first a year later. “At the end of day, the work is going to speak for itself,” Tyler Smith said. “Having those guys around me, being able to learn from those guys, and play with those guys, that’s going to be huge for my development as a player.”
Dallas also is touting Josh Ball, a fourth-round pick last year, as an option with position flex on the right side with the newcomer Smith on the left. Ball didn't play as a rookie after spraining his ankle in training camp.
