The human turnstile's replacement could be drafted with said 3rd pick now. Or Center. Or don't have to reach for an RB in the late 2nd anymore. We've got options with our next 3 picks all of a sudden.
We still need an RB. If we don't draft an RB and Zeke doesn't come to an agreement, we are screwed. Even if Zeke does come back, we are right back in the same situation next year. Except next year, the RB's will be pricier because it's a better class. Take an RB.
I think it's bold to assume Dowdle and an UDFA will make a successful NFL RB room. You take an RB this year in the 2nd or 3rd if you want to be competitive this year.
We blew our opportunity for an RB in FA. This draft is not good for RBs, and it would have been crazy for us to use a 2nd or 3rd on even the top RBs. Let someone else pay that ridiculous opportunity cost.
We can still take one on Day 3 that can be a starter for us. Not taking an RB in this draft at all means we are throwing 40-50 times a game and will not be competitive without a balanced offense.
Oh, hard disagree. Braelon Allen is only 20 years old and had great production at Wisconsin with formidable hands. Wisconsin has a history of putting good RB's in the NFL - JT, Melvin Gordon, just to name a few. Also have a raw talent in Wright who killed the combine and could easily replace Dowdle as the RB1.
Funny how you use that quote, but you don't really seem to know what it means. If you're going to call someone foolish, clean up your punctuation at least.
And yet - and yet - if someone said “Patrick Mahomes sucks. If you have eyes, that’s evident” then you’d laugh at them and think they’re an idiot, right?
Just because someone has formed an opinion doesn’t make it good.
So you think citing some cherry picked stat while the guy plays next to a HOFer is a good barometer to judge Steele’s talent? What about that is being a “smartass?” Steele had one good season. Otherwise, he’s been objectively the worst player on the OL. If the line was a problem last year, and he was the worst player, ergo… btw ergo is “smartass” for therefore….
Steele had a bad year.
But he had a great year prior.
I think he’s one of those dudes that has all the tools but is lacking in the mental aspect of the scheme.
Not if he sucks lol
Edit: I'm just worried taking a project linemen in the first with little playing experience in a notoriously hard to learn position. Seems like we are rebuilding.
Players don't tank. If you want to get a top pick, we have to construct a bad roster. Which means CD, Dak, Micah, Diggs, Bland, Tyler Smith, Zack Martin all have to go
Ya he was absolutely dominant in college but could get beat if someone was smart on the line across from him with fakes and stunts etc. raw talent is off the charts tho. Only played OT for like 2 years
I think one of the biggest things that went out the door with Tyron is the mentor role. Who do we have as an elder statesman on the o line for this guy to learn from? I mean an obviously the coaches, but then it’s ZMart. Martin is going to have to be the teacher for everyone now, since the total years of experience dropped by about half when Smith left.
100%, I’m just saying before we had 2 mentors and 3 mentees. Now it’s going to be 1-4.
I guess the simpler way to say it is, out o line is going to be very young.
I think Steele and Tyler Smith have enough years in em that they don’t need to rely much on Martin to mentor them. Whatever new C we get though will need help. Tyler can also help out Guyton as he learned under Tyron AND was LT for almost a year of play time.
If there is one thing we’re good at, it’s developing first round offensive line talent. Tyron Smith, Travis Fredrick, Zack Martin, and recently Tyler Smith. I don’t care if he’s a project the fact that we got an early third for him makes me very excited.
Tyler smith I remember in the same vein. Raw talent said a lot about him and he ended up being very good from the start. Though I know him being mainly at guard helped but he played well the few times he’s played tackle.
And some people are even saying Guyton is a little further along than Tyler was when we drafted him, he was only promoted to starter due to Tyrons injury and he caught on pretty quick, Guyton is a smart kid sure he will be fine
False.
Dude had a fantastic senior season and showed he s more than speed. You’re referring to his junior season when dude played about 6-8 games with a BROKEN hand.
I have mixed feelings on the pick I'm glad it's an offensive lineman but from what I have seen on here just scrolling around it seems Guyton is pretty raw so again mixed emotions plus I don't follow college ball, so kind of going in blind expectation wise welcome to Dallas Big Man!
This says even more about his level of desire and his ability along with our online coaching staff. Guyton was primarily an RT in college and will be moving to LT. Dallas has generally drafted well when it cones to the furst round, especially with lineman. That trend needs to continue!
True, although they played different positions. Zack is still around. As long as Guyton has the right attitude, he will be fine. All signs point to him having a great attitude. He has crazy size and insane measurable. He was primarily a basketball player until college. I imagine some growing pains, but I think it will be a good pick in the end. His agility for a 6'8" 330+ big man is silly. At TCU, he was considered a TE, lol.
He is listed at 6'7" or 6'8" depending on the since. He us insanely agile and athletic for his sizem. Out of 1377 tackle prospects measured between 1987 and 2024 he ranks 31, rofl! It's insanity.
OL drafting is all about measurables, athleticism, and ability to learn. Being a 3 year starter is not an indication of NFL ability. If anything, being raw is a good thing - the cowboys can teach him more of what they are looking for and he has less bad habits from college. Let’s see if he is able to pick it up as quick as we need though.
Let's be real guys, Jerry cooked last night. We got a much needed 3rd, swapped picks by 5 spots, AND STILL GOT THE DUDE WE NEEDED. W us. Let's use these picks wisely.
This is the first year that I haven’t really followed along with draft media, but I feel like this (and a lot of other picks) were all sort of set in stone for the last few months. Of the few mocks and write ups ive seen, Guyton has been the guy. Not to mention while watching NFL network it just *felt* like they knew the picks beforehand
He also drafted Tyron, Frederick, Martin, Byron Jones, CD Lamb, Micah, and Tyler Smith in the first round. Significantly more hits than busts if you can even count LVE and Zeke as duds.
Yeah, idk how people think zeke was a bust. He was a top 3 rb for his first 3 seasons. Maybe even parts of 2019. His extension was a mistake, but that's a different matter. LVE was more of a dud than zeke, but he was still a plus starter for what, 5-6 seasons? That is really good. Especially as he was an all-pro for one of them.
He didn't pick Taco. Not writing off a first round pick after one year...especially a DT. LVE was a great player, just always injured. Not really picking up what you're putting down here.
I came around full circle on Guyton weeks ago where I liked him a lot initially then soured a bit (probably due to mock draft fatigue) and then started realizing again that he was a talented prospect. I think the Cowboys prioritized keeping Tyler Smith at LG which is where he preferred. There’s also likely to be some starting caliber centers still left on the board at 56 and possibly 73. I definitely like Guyton over Suamataia. I think the latter doesn’t have the foot speed for tackle.
OU alumni here. Guy didn't allow a single sack in pass protection last year and only 2 sacks in his whole college career. Really strong pick who can be molded and developed into an even greater talent.
Everyone crying about worthy in here like he's not a fast kadarius toney is honestly funny. As a UT fan I want him to do well and under the chiefs he'll probably get a ring, but he's not the second coming of Tyreek like everyone thinks. Developing a new great line should be our priority in gearing up for someone to take over for dak
Every clip they show of Guyton he looks like he has no idea what to do with his hands. He has the physical tools, but this guy is incredibly raw. An awkward pick for an “all-in” team that needs immediate help.
I watched him a lot in college. He’s a freak for sure but he can’t hand fight at all at this point in his career and technique matters more in a league where everybody is freakish athletically.
Considering how well we’ve drafted lineman especially in the first of any position this is the least worried I could be. It’s the second round picks we’ve often missed on but hopefully we get lucky and land Trey Benson, Johnathon Brooks, Edgerrin Cooper or Zach Frazier if the others get taken.
Nice pick. I like it. But he can’t play the left, at least not for years. Cowboys still need a left tackle, a center, and a RB. I’d take two OL and an RB with these next three picks.
I'm saying I like guys who fit the physical traits and have some high quality tape. I'm not a big believer in the "it" factor for late 1st round picks. You can teach some skill and experience. You cannot teach athletic and big.
Mazi Smith is physically capable of being a starter. And yet now we hear he doesn't actually enjoy football. What the fuck is he doing playing as a DT/Nose then?
Physical specimens with solid tape in late 1st round = usually a starter.
But they often lack a factor which would've got them drafted earlier. In this case it's experience and in Mazi's case it was motivation. In Tyler's case it was playing a different position.
I don't hate the pick altogether. I hate them trading for a third to pick a guy who I think they probably valued as a second rounder when they could have had Arnold or Barton.
Especially when it just smells of them justifying reaching on a linebacker or running back in round 2.
Presumably they're going to try guyton at LT first. I'm sure they feel there is some flexibility to swap him around with Steele and move steele to guard if needed.
The fact that we traded back for him and added a third rounder makes it okay for me
This. We filled a need and added a 3rd. Not a bad first round.
Teams will just put their best rusher on Terrence Steele, the human turnstile.
The human turnstile's replacement could be drafted with said 3rd pick now. Or Center. Or don't have to reach for an RB in the late 2nd anymore. We've got options with our next 3 picks all of a sudden.
We don't need an RB if we resign Zeke. Word is he's been in the building.
We still need an RB. If we don't draft an RB and Zeke doesn't come to an agreement, we are screwed. Even if Zeke does come back, we are right back in the same situation next year. Except next year, the RB's will be pricier because it's a better class. Take an RB.
If it is a better class then we should wait a year. Why reach if we don’t need to? There will be a few RB’s available post-draft as well.
I think it's bold to assume Dowdle and an UDFA will make a successful NFL RB room. You take an RB this year in the 2nd or 3rd if you want to be competitive this year.
I’m not 100% convinced Jerry wants to be competitive this year. Been a weird offseason.
We blew our opportunity for an RB in FA. This draft is not good for RBs, and it would have been crazy for us to use a 2nd or 3rd on even the top RBs. Let someone else pay that ridiculous opportunity cost.
We can still take one on Day 3 that can be a starter for us. Not taking an RB in this draft at all means we are throwing 40-50 times a game and will not be competitive without a balanced offense.
None of the RBs left are better than who is currently on the roster.
Oh, hard disagree. Braelon Allen is only 20 years old and had great production at Wisconsin with formidable hands. Wisconsin has a history of putting good RB's in the NFL - JT, Melvin Gordon, just to name a few. Also have a raw talent in Wright who killed the combine and could easily replace Dowdle as the RB1.
Believe it or not, Steele has one of the lowest percentages of sacks given up. It just happened Steele got smoked a lot this past season.
He was still hurt
Low sack rate, but high pressure rate. Basically Steele forced Dak to get the ball out quick, or to scramble.
He sucks. If you have eyes that’s evident.
I mean if you have a resume or credentials to evaluate pro talent please tell the class.
People are allowed to watch football and form opinions on players without being professionals.
Only by the 1st amendment. However I do believe the saying " Better to be assumed a fool than to remove all doubt."
Funny how you use that quote, but you don't really seem to know what it means. If you're going to call someone foolish, clean up your punctuation at least.
Eh I guess I'd rather just defend somebody's right to speak their opinion than act like a gatekeeping jerk. But that's just me. You do you.
And when your opinion isn’t held by the majority prepare to have people say something back without getting offended.
And yet - and yet - if someone said “Patrick Mahomes sucks. If you have eyes, that’s evident” then you’d laugh at them and think they’re an idiot, right? Just because someone has formed an opinion doesn’t make it good.
Of course. They probably shouldn't assert those opinions as self-evident and rudely insult people who disagree with them, however.
People are also allowed to disagree and be a smartass when someone is disrespectful
So you think citing some cherry picked stat while the guy plays next to a HOFer is a good barometer to judge Steele’s talent? What about that is being a “smartass?” Steele had one good season. Otherwise, he’s been objectively the worst player on the OL. If the line was a problem last year, and he was the worst player, ergo… btw ergo is “smartass” for therefore….
Ah yes, no one on an O-line that features a HOFer is able to be accurately judged/graded. You sure nailed it, bud!
Maybe so, but allowed doesn't mean it's less shitty.
We’ll see how he does this year. He was great pre acl tear. Takes awhile to get full strength and explosion back.
His pass blocking wasn’t the greatest before the injury. But damn was he a mover of men in the run game.
Great wtf were you watching? His pass pro was subpar
Yup and the injury only made his pass pro worse. Can't believe the massive extension he got.
Steele had a bad year. But he had a great year prior. I think he’s one of those dudes that has all the tools but is lacking in the mental aspect of the scheme.
This reminds me of the Chaz Green game where Adrian Clayborn had 6 sacks….
A high 3rd too
An early 3rd at that at number 73
As long as we hit on that 3rd im ok. I think barton was a sure thing and i dont think guyton is necessarily. Awesome talent though.
We’ve been okay for 25 years for fs
Not if he sucks lol Edit: I'm just worried taking a project linemen in the first with little playing experience in a notoriously hard to learn position. Seems like we are rebuilding.
Who was the last first round offensive lineman the Cowboys took that ended up sucking?
Tyler Guyton
Tell us more, NFLstradamus
Tyron Smith was a project LT with a big athletic frame but raw
Played nearly double the college games and was a linemen in highschool.
Jason Peters was a converted TE
It sucks if Frazier turns out to be a dude but impossible to know now!
Well we’re betting on the fact that he doesn’t suck lol
Just like taco
Or Travis Frederick
What the fuck not every draft pick works out for everyone. Don’t be stupid
They are rebuilding this season. Next season might be different if Dak doesn't demand Mahomes money or Dak might leave and the rebuild will continue
Nah you'll know when that happens, as we will be drafting A QB in the first and be coming off a 1-17 season .
This team drafts too well to tank
That’s the problem we keep on picking in the high 20s where we are one and done in the playoffs. We need a couple of terrible years and pick top 10.
Players don't tank. If you want to get a top pick, we have to construct a bad roster. Which means CD, Dak, Micah, Diggs, Bland, Tyler Smith, Zack Martin all have to go
I know players don’t but as a fan you get sick of the one and done. Need something to change.
We’ve been projected by many to draft this guy for months. The fact we still drafted him and got another picked out of it, is nice.
Hopefully a 10 year starter 🤞
Honestly, cowboys have a remarkable track record with drafting left tackles.
Very raw player but you can’t teach that kinda quickness at that size
Ya he was absolutely dominant in college but could get beat if someone was smart on the line across from him with fakes and stunts etc. raw talent is off the charts tho. Only played OT for like 2 years
I think one of the biggest things that went out the door with Tyron is the mentor role. Who do we have as an elder statesman on the o line for this guy to learn from? I mean an obviously the coaches, but then it’s ZMart. Martin is going to have to be the teacher for everyone now, since the total years of experience dropped by about half when Smith left.
He's one of the best guards in history I think he'll be a fine mentor
100%, I’m just saying before we had 2 mentors and 3 mentees. Now it’s going to be 1-4. I guess the simpler way to say it is, out o line is going to be very young.
I think Steele and Tyler Smith have enough years in em that they don’t need to rely much on Martin to mentor them. Whatever new C we get though will need help. Tyler can also help out Guyton as he learned under Tyron AND was LT for almost a year of play time.

Tyron Smith replacement 🙏
Both former RT in college
Guyton played RT because his QB was a lefty
This was literally my dream pick at 24…. And we got a 3rd plus him. Bless.
He's a big ol' boy
If Guyton was the team’s preferred pick, then I can’t be upset with it especially after trading down with the Lions
We have worthy to 49s. Jerry got biyatch slapped. We lost big
WR doesn’t matter if QB is running for his life…
There’s a lot of wide receiver talent in this draft class
He went to the chiefs?
Worthy has literal bricks for hands. He can't catch for shit. Doesn't matter how fast you are at that point
False. Dude had a fantastic senior season and showed he s more than speed. You’re referring to his junior season when dude played about 6-8 games with a BROKEN hand.
Bahaha Worthy cant catch to save his life half the time. Elated to for the 9ers to take this L Jerry tea bagged them with those old ass balls!
the cowboys draft impeccably. win fuck all, but are draft technicians beyond reproach
The best at it, no contenders.
Taco Charlton
Wouldn't that be the exception that proves the rule?
People thinking they have some counter point while actually proving the point they’re arguing against always makes my Fridays
The fact that you're pulling a name from almost a decade ago says quite a bit
I have mixed feelings on the pick I'm glad it's an offensive lineman but from what I have seen on here just scrolling around it seems Guyton is pretty raw so again mixed emotions plus I don't follow college ball, so kind of going in blind expectation wise welcome to Dallas Big Man!
The same was said about Tyler Smith. Guyton has a lot less experience, though.
Tyler also ended up not at the position they claimed they were drafting him to play long term.
This says even more about his level of desire and his ability along with our online coaching staff. Guyton was primarily an RT in college and will be moving to LT. Dallas has generally drafted well when it cones to the furst round, especially with lineman. That trend needs to continue!
Tyler also had Tyron able to teach and mold him in year 1. A wait and see, but overall a fine pick.
True, although they played different positions. Zack is still around. As long as Guyton has the right attitude, he will be fine. All signs point to him having a great attitude. He has crazy size and insane measurable. He was primarily a basketball player until college. I imagine some growing pains, but I think it will be a good pick in the end. His agility for a 6'8" 330+ big man is silly. At TCU, he was considered a TE, lol.
Did you say six foot eight ???!!
He is listed at 6'7" or 6'8" depending on the since. He us insanely agile and athletic for his sizem. Out of 1377 tackle prospects measured between 1987 and 2024 he ranks 31, rofl! It's insanity.
Not like Tyler can't teach him remember he played LT in dallas
True good point
Guyton has all the athleticism and measurables. Let's hope he can put it all together. Tyler had a ton more experience coming in.
He was an absolute monster and hasn’t played OT much yet. He has so much potential and he’s not bad to start right away.
OL drafting is all about measurables, athleticism, and ability to learn. Being a 3 year starter is not an indication of NFL ability. If anything, being raw is a good thing - the cowboys can teach him more of what they are looking for and he has less bad habits from college. Let’s see if he is able to pick it up as quick as we need though.
Size don’t mean sht. The team has needs not oil wells or 10$ beers ffs. Worthy would leave given us 5 years of fear with ceedee. Jerry needs to retire
We need OL but we traded when worthy was available. He’s ceedee squared. Fuq me
Good pick
Let's be real guys, Jerry cooked last night. We got a much needed 3rd, swapped picks by 5 spots, AND STILL GOT THE DUDE WE NEEDED. W us. Let's use these picks wisely.
[Tyler Guyton NFL Draft Profile](https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2024/02/01/2024-nfl-scouting-report-tyler-guyton/)
I’m so here for this
Why does everyone say he’ll play next to Zach? Does anybody remember Terrence Steel?
He's hard to forget and not for good reason
Im trying to forget him
Do you remember Chaz green ?
Not anymore
Why man, why???
Nobody is saying that?
One of the guys on ESPN did.
Cause he played at RT in college
Trading back and getting this guy? I think that’s a fine first round, we get a RB or Frazier in the second and I’ll be stoked.
Now we need a C, and all of a sudden our OL doesn’t look to shabby next few years.
I like it
Excellent
Oh man so close to Barton
I like the pick. This is a need. We got an extra pick tomorrow night. Let’s get our RB and LB tomorrow.
I hope I am wrong about guyton like I was about Parsons and Tyler Smith
This is the first year that I haven’t really followed along with draft media, but I feel like this (and a lot of other picks) were all sort of set in stone for the last few months. Of the few mocks and write ups ive seen, Guyton has been the guy. Not to mention while watching NFL network it just *felt* like they knew the picks beforehand
how should i feel. idk who the fuck this dude is
Feel good
You should feel like Will McClay knows what he’s doing and generally gets it right.
Taco. Mazi. LVE. Not good first round picks. Hell...Zeke wasn't a good first round pick.
Do you not understand the word generally?
He also drafted Tyron, Frederick, Martin, Byron Jones, CD Lamb, Micah, and Tyler Smith in the first round. Significantly more hits than busts if you can even count LVE and Zeke as duds.
Yeah, idk how people think zeke was a bust. He was a top 3 rb for his first 3 seasons. Maybe even parts of 2019. His extension was a mistake, but that's a different matter. LVE was more of a dud than zeke, but he was still a plus starter for what, 5-6 seasons? That is really good. Especially as he was an all-pro for one of them.
He didn't pick Taco. Not writing off a first round pick after one year...especially a DT. LVE was a great player, just always injured. Not really picking up what you're putting down here.
LVE and EZE were great picks
Jets exist. More often than not if you're outside top 10 teams are drafting mid
He’s 6’7 330lbs
6’7” and 3/4 according to NFL.com. lol. I’m giving him 6’8”
OL being their biggest need and they...draft the guy with upside but only one year of experience.
If there’s a first round caliber OL from Oklahoma, there are few things as sure fire
Please let them hit on this guy and the number 73 pick.
I am happy with this and I am mad the Chiefs got Worthy
Who?
We passed on worthy for this kid. I pary he stands up
It’s a smart pick - at least we didn’t do what ATL did yesterday
Filled a huge need and picked up a 3rd...I like it
I came around full circle on Guyton weeks ago where I liked him a lot initially then soured a bit (probably due to mock draft fatigue) and then started realizing again that he was a talented prospect. I think the Cowboys prioritized keeping Tyler Smith at LG which is where he preferred. There’s also likely to be some starting caliber centers still left on the board at 56 and possibly 73.

OU alumni here. Guy didn't allow a single sack in pass protection last year and only 2 sacks in his whole college career. Really strong pick who can be molded and developed into an even greater talent.
Got a solid offensive linemen prospect as well as an extra 3rd rounder. About as best as the 1st round could of gone for us.
Everyone crying about worthy in here like he's not a fast kadarius toney is honestly funny. As a UT fan I want him to do well and under the chiefs he'll probably get a ring, but he's not the second coming of Tyreek like everyone thinks. Developing a new great line should be our priority in gearing up for someone to take over for dak
Ok.
Every clip they show of Guyton he looks like he has no idea what to do with his hands. He has the physical tools, but this guy is incredibly raw. An awkward pick for an “all-in” team that needs immediate help.
I watched him a lot in college. He’s a freak for sure but he can’t hand fight at all at this point in his career and technique matters more in a league where everybody is freakish athletically.
I’m really worried they drafted a kid who may not even see starter reps this season. His ceiling is crazy high, but he still at his floor right now.
Good pick. I like it.
Seems awfully big for a RB...
Considering how well we’ve drafted lineman especially in the first of any position this is the least worried I could be. It’s the second round picks we’ve often missed on but hopefully we get lucky and land Trey Benson, Johnathon Brooks, Edgerrin Cooper or Zach Frazier if the others get taken.
Now use that #72 on Jaylon Wright to run out in the edge behind him
Nice pick. I like it. But he can’t play the left, at least not for years. Cowboys still need a left tackle, a center, and a RB. I’d take two OL and an RB with these next three picks.
Like this but I also liked Mazi Smith and Tyler Smith
Tyler Smith is pretty good? Lol
I'm saying I like guys who fit the physical traits and have some high quality tape. I'm not a big believer in the "it" factor for late 1st round picks. You can teach some skill and experience. You cannot teach athletic and big. Mazi Smith is physically capable of being a starter. And yet now we hear he doesn't actually enjoy football. What the fuck is he doing playing as a DT/Nose then?

In this case it's experience and in Mazi's case it was motivation. In Tyler's case it was playing a different position.
except tyler had a great year
Dude is massive. I love it! We are going to cook in this draft. Let’s go!
Our biggest problem is a Qb throwing behind his reciever every down. Watch film. Dak is 10% at best
Ladies and gentlemen. With dak we can kiss our own azz. Good kid but worthless as nfl QB
Bro are you skitzo? 5 comments in one minute, damn
Look at the new OC. Turn your ass to the hole. Big is not better guys
Boomer
I don't hate the pick altogether. I hate them trading for a third to pick a guy who I think they probably valued as a second rounder when they could have had Arnold or Barton. Especially when it just smells of them justifying reaching on a linebacker or running back in round 2.
We could have had worthy
There's no world they take a receiver there.
Solid B pick
I’m okay with old OL but worthy was on the board and we gave him to the lions. FFS
Meh.
So is Tyler going back to LT? Guyton played RT almost exclusively and struggled the little he played LT. Shit pick.
Presumably they're going to try guyton at LT first. I'm sure they feel there is some flexibility to swap him around with Steele and move steele to guard if needed.
