Tyler - G or LT?

Not sayin’ it’s right, but Smith is staying at Guard.

What's wrong about it?

I feel the staff would be wise to find a LT either in the draft or from a veteran free agent. Tyson Smith performs much better at LG than at LT.

I think Tyler could be a pretty special guard. His superpower is his absolutely booming lower-body power, and his weakness is getting grabby out in space. Putting him inside with bumpers on, and just having him dynamite DTs out of the play sounds perfect.

Not suggesting it's wrong (keeping Smith @ Guard), but at the end of the day I would think you want your best 5 on the field.

As an example, if the Cowboys take a Center with pick 24, they may address OT but probably not until much later. You may be entering training camp with the likes of Asim Richards (or someone of similar ilk) being your best tackle if you're locking Smith in at Guard. For the record, I think Tyler can be exceptional at Guard but pending how this plays out, could sadly also be the most qualified to play LT.

At some point, I'd think you'd have to ask yourself what is more formidable. The Tackle, Guard, Center trio of Richards (whoever, pick your JAG), Smith, JPJ/Barton, or Smith, Bass, JPJ/Barton? At this point we can't guarantee the answer to that specific question, but I think pending an emergency, the Cowboys want Tyler playing Guard.
