One way to be great...learn from the best.
While we have recently discussed the good news of the Cowboys having a lot of young offensive linemen ...ahhh... that are progressing nicely in the early days of training camp, everyone suddenly started talking about Tyron Smith recently, so it seems only prudent we look at what they are saying and join in on the discussions.
Tyron Smith was drafted in the 1st round pick and was a top ten pick. Before the draft, the selection was a heavily debated topic here at BTB. Some were worried T. Smith was all potential and physical aesthetics, but not even the best offensive tackle on the board. Many felt he simply wasn't the best player available at #9 or that trading the pick brought with it greater value in the draft. Then there were the ardent supporters (feel free to run a search for T. Smith on my profile for an example and review past post debates). While it is far too early to tell whether Tyron Smith was a "value" pick at #9 in the 2011 Draft, it did bring with it a message, as a two decade trend under Jerry Jones ended, and mounting expectations.
