Tyler Smith Fantasy

The Dallas Cowboys signed first-round offensive tackle Tyler Smith to a four-year, fully guaranteed $13.38 million deal that includes a fifth-year team option on Friday, according to sources. Smith was a two-year starter at Tulsa that was taken with the 24th overall selection in the first round this year. The 21-year-old is considered a bit raw, but he has considerable upside at both left tackle and guard at the next level. Smith probably has a better shot to start at guard in his rookie season, but he could also compete for the left tackle job in training camp. The Cowboys had arguably the best offensive line a few seasons ago, but that isn't the case anymore. The addition of Smith will upgrade the unit significantly.

The Dallas Cowboys think first-round rookie offensive lineman Tyler Smith has a lot of upside, and vice president Stephen Jones said "he'll compete on that left side: left guard, left tackle." Starting left tackle Tyron Smith has missed a lot of time with injuries in recent seasons, so Smith not only provides versatility on the left side of the offensive line, but he could step into the left tackle spot if Smith misses more time in 2022 due to injury. Smith was a two-year starter at left tackle at Tulsa. He's raw on the offensive line and he'll have to clean up some sloppy play penalty-wise, but the Cowboys felt the need to bolster their O-line after it was once considered one of the best units in the NFL several years ago.

The Dallas Cowboys took Tulsa offensive tackle Tyler Smith with the 24th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday night. The Cowboys had one of the best offensive lines in all of football several years ago, but that's no longer the case, and Dallas really needed to address the position, so this pick makes perfect sense. The 21-year-old may not be great right away in the NFL, but he does have plenty of upside at both tackle and guard, which will give the Cowboys some flexibility. Smith stands at an imposing 6-foot-5, 324 pounds, and he had a 5.02-second 40-yard dash at the combine back in February. It's more likely that Smith is starting at a guard spot in the NFL initially.
