Twitter: What grade do you give Tyler Smith?

[stilltheguru]

This year he gets an A. He won't get a rookie grade next year

As far as stepping up and playing LT when his number was called an A. He played hard after practicing G preseason.

As far as his actual play? C-. A ton of penalties and pass pro win rate was below average. He played like a rookie.

Rookie held his own and multiple position changes - SOLID A.

Cowboys are great 1st round pickers of the OL.

Who was the last 1st round OL pick not to work out?
Howard Richards - 1981 Too many injuries.

Who was the last OL we drafted in the first prior to Tyron Smith in 2011?

Howard Richards 1981.

Our last 3 Super Bowl wins we had no 1st round OL.

I am thankful all 4 of our most recent first round OL have worked out. But it’s a major problem over the last 25 years we can’t find high end OL outside of the first round.
