Twitter: What grade do you give Tyler Smith?

[Mr_437]

What's your grade?
Did Tyler exceed you expectations?

I gave him a B+.

 

[Jarv]

A-

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Rookie from Tulsa?

Moved from guard to left tackle in training camp?

Held his own and dominated at times for 19 games?

Dude is a solid A if there ever was one.

 

[maryquality]

I'd give him an A-. He exceeded my expectations.

 

[Risen Star]

Smith A-, Williams C, Tolbert Z, Ferguson B-, Waletzko inc, Bland A, Clark B, Ridgeway F, Harper C.

 

[Streifenkarl]

As far as Rookies go, definately an A. A- ok, but somewhere up there. Him and Steele really got something going. I hope Steele won't suffer the Gallup fate after that injury and will be @ 100% next season. If so our future @ OT is secure for the next couple of years.

Considering all the moving around, moved to LT before the season started.. lowest you can give the guy is a B.

 

[CouchCoach]

A - considering the rap on him against a strong opponent and his penchant for penalties, he was an excellent pick. He got baptism by fire and accelerated the evualution of him for the future, looks like a real solid keeper for years to come. Cowboys are great 1st round pickers of the OL.

Who was the last 1st round OL pick not to work out?
Howard Richards - 1981 Too many injuries.

Makes Tyron Smith expendable

I giving an A. Big jump from Tulsa to starting LT for the highest profile team in sports. Particularly when you factor in he had a penalty problem in college and spent various OTAs playing inside.

I gave him a B+.

A++ Considering that he was a rookie. A non-top 10 rookie.

B+ Relative to All Pro veterans. Bump to A- when considering he played both LT and LG.

Somebody has to play RT in game 1 of 2023.

 

[rags747]

Yeah definitely B+ A-

 

[Bermystar12]

Given his draft position and his ability to plug and play at multiple positions....easy A

 

[jterrell]

As a draft pick? A+
As a starting LT B.

Finding a walk-in starting LT at pick 26 is superb work.
At same time Tyler likely is better for the next 7-9 years at LT than he was as a rookie.
Very much looks like the drop off from vet Tyron to young Tyler will be minimal.

Tyron can't even stay healthy......so no guarantee he'll be playing.

 

[Hawkeye19]

He gets an “A” in my book. Started from day one, multiple positions, and has power and intelligence and a very high ceiling.

Questioned the pick when we made it, but he really did an outstanding job.

 

[ChuckA1]

He gets an A from me. He played very well for a rookie

 

[Hardline]

Solid A.
I would have gave him an A+ with less penalties.

 

[Cowboys93]

A at the very least. I fully believe if this guy didn’t step up early and often we wouldn’t have won as many games as we did. Truly a home run pick. There’s a lot of things you can say about this team but their first round OL drafting is phenomenal
