Recap: Is Guyton a bust if doesn't win starting job at LT during camp?

[reddyuta]

He’s a LT.

We got scrubs at LT before the draft.

The worry with Guyton is that he wasn’t All American / All Conf in NCAA ball.

That’s a red flag.

The kid has talent though.

cmon,if he was he wouldnt be available late in the first RD.

I like the fact that the FO and the scouts realized OL was in need of fresh bodies . I’m glad they took this part of the team seriously so Dallas doesn’t have to go out and fish for 40 plus yr old unemployed linemen like last season .

Along with Bass & Hoffman real depth is taking shape . At some point Guynton & Beebe will be starters .

See a lot of talk about this in Cowboys fandom podcasts.

Some concern based on comments from Jones Boys and McCarthy that Edoga will be the starter.

First round picks are drafted to be impacts. Zack, TFred, Tyler Smith all drafted in similar ranges and won their jobs.

A lot of criticism on Jones Boys. If Guyton has too much of a learning curve to make coaches confident to start him, why let Tyron go?

I wouldnt call him a bust. As BP said give the player three years.

But if he does not play LT from day one this was a bad pick by our FO.

Your first rounder has to start day one at least. Especially if you call yourself a team that builds itself thru the draft.
If he does not it is a bad pick or waste of resource.

Tyron didn’t win the LT job his rookie year.

At some point Guynton & Beebe will be starters .

You have no way of saying either of those guys will ever develop enough to start. They have potential you hope will be realized.

This is so dumb. No, year one of a players career doesn’t make him a bust, just like we’ve seen the other side of the coin where guys have success immediately it doesn’t mean they are long for super stardom. Need to give 2 seasons at minimum

 

[CCBoy]

Fact, not starting for up to a half a season doesn't remove from view a strong starter viewable achievement. A player arrives when he gets there.

 

[charron]

Guyton was likely a bust the moment they took him 3 rounds to early. Drafting a guy in the 1st round that needs 3-4 years to develop the needed skills to be above average is not a winning formula.

 

[CCBoy]

You have no way of saying either of those guys will ever develop enough to start. They have potential you hope will be realized.

Not at all, this team is strong at evaluations as well as leadership in training. Stay away from Basic Training in service. That is forged in fire. He has the tools.

Both will be starting at some point in 2024
