What 5 make up the best 5if everyone is healthy week 1? I think it is Smith Fred Looney Martin Collins. I could see Looney being traded to a team looking to upgrade or for an injury replacement. If Looney is traded I think Smith McGovern Fred Martin Collins.
From left to right - Smith, Collins, Fred, Martin, Williams,

Collins does project better at OG than at RT.

However, for the Cowboys in 2019 Collins at RT is better than Fleming.

We have no idea how Connor Williams will look at OT in the NFL.

"On Paper" C.Williams is an OT and Collins is an OG.
C.Willams: Quick feet, needs more power.
Collins: Very powerful, needs quicker feet.​

The one caveat on Collins is that he might be bit of a "slow processor" mentally and inside OL positions are a bit more complicated than OT.

I think Collins has played better at RT than LG.

The thing about Collins is that he has great power on the move, but I don't see it head to head in the trenches. Not enough bend to drive from his legs. Upright and on the move, he has a great punch.

We had no idea how Williams would look at G either. Yet we played him there, as a rookie, at a new position. At least T was what he played in college, and now he's had the offseason to prepare to get back to T.

Smith - Collins - Frederick - Martin - C.Williams

but they don't listen to me
Training camp will determine if that's the best line up.
As of right now my combination is the most likely one.

Smith - Collins - Frederick - Martin - Fleming

Might be Williams one day on the end, but he needs to make strides before he’s given the shot. He shouldn’t have been starting last year, and Fleming is solid.
