Cowboys betting on 2 former Top 100 draft picks to upgrade OT depth

[zekecowboy]

With concerns about the overall depth at the offensive tackle position, the Cowboys went out and acquired Broderick Jones via trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones was pick 15 in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft and has started a total of 38 games at both left and right tackle in his three seasons in Pittsburgh. While his career hasn’t panned out the way he had probably hoped so far, the change of scenery hopefully works in his favor much like it did his former Steelers teammate, George Pickens.
Jones’ arrival in Dallas puts a target on the back of Dallas’ current starting RT Terence Steele. Both players have been informed the starting RT job is up for grabs and to the victor go the spoils. With the 2026 NFL season opener against the division rival New York Giants quickly approaching, it seems highly unlikely Jones will overtake Steele for the starting job right away. But, considering No. 78’s struggles, it’s not completely out of the question either.

While expectations probably aren’t as high for the other OT Dallas signed the practice squad, Wanya Morris is an intriguing prospect as well. A former teammate of LT Tyler Guyton in 2022 at Oklahoma, Morris was overall pick 92 (third round) in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. He started a total of 15 games in his career with the Chiefs, winning a Super Bowl as a rookie, before being traded a few months ago to the Atlanta Falcons for a sixth-round pick in 2026.

The offensive coaches for the Cowboys are pretty good and they will work with Jones a lot. Especially Riley. He may not be ready this year, but next summer it could be another story. The upside with him is more than Steele.

Morris is a way better acquisition than Jones because of the lack of acquisition cost.

I bet they don't make the trade if they knew Morris would be avialable.

PFF had Guyton at 81st and Steele at 76th out of 89 passblockers graded.

Whether you go by PFF or not, to be ranked 76th and 81st out of 89 is a MAJOR cause for concern imo.

I hope Jones and Morris can do something.

The Dallas Cowboy offensive tackle passblocking standard is not a high bar to beat. LOL
