Drafted by Cowboys With the 29th pick. Dallas Cowboys take OT Tyler Guyton

[Typhus]

Jumped into this draft late and catching up. Buddy texted me we could of had Barton eho is day 1 starter and not happy with this "development " pick.

Honestly don't know much about him gotta read up on him. What round did we gain for the trade down?

Detroit's 3rd.
Good trade.

Cowboys aren’t winning a Super Bowl this year regardless.

So I ain’t sweating it.

Fair assessment

Blah…brings back memories of the Mazi Smith pick last year.

To be fair, as bad as they are at finding DTs they are equally as good at finding Oline early.

Good point!

We’re celebrating because Dallas got a 3rd round pick with a project OT, instead of a plug-and-play Center (which they need) because of salary cap mismanagement….
Well….yay

They like the center they have. Bottom line with how they have approached the off season, They needed more pics.

6. TYLER GUYTON, Oklahoma (6-7 ½, 330, 5.21, 1-2): Fourth-year junior. “If you watch the Florida State game he actually dominated (Jared) Verse,” one scout said. “He kicked his ***. Absolutely dominated him. But he only steps up for big games. He went down to the Senior Bowl and stepped up. Thing is, once he gets comfortable, once he gets complacent, he’s gonna shut it down a little bit it looks like. In the National Football League you have to step up to the challenge every week. He may be the biggest bust. He’s an athletic freak but he’s just a mental midget.” After two backup seasons at TCU, he made 14 of his 15 starts for the Sooners at RT. “Thing that pisses you off about him is he’s so dang inconsistent with his hand placement,” a second scout said. “He gets beat by guys he has no business losing to. In the run game, his temperament and finish are very inconsistent. He can do it. He just has to set his mind to it. But when he does he can get push and movement off the line of scrimmage. He can pull and get to the second level. It’s just a matter of (improving) character-wise to reach the next level.” Arms were 34 1/8, hands were 10 ¼. His vertical jump of 34 ½ inches led the top 20 tackles. “He’s talented but there’s some unknowns based on what you see on film,” a third scout said. “His technique just isn’t very good. Definitely a finesse style, but he can be a starting left tackle. Not a bad kid. You could really hit on him if you’re comfortable with the makeup.” From Manor, Texas.

The 1st round for us turned out to be better than I had anticipated it would be. I surely can't find fault with the 3rd round pick we got in addition to the OT that we wanted from the start. I didn't realize Guyton was that huge of a player. If he reaches his expected upside, we'll be quite blessed.

Smh @WillieBeamen same dak. Same defense led by soft all pros. Ugh

 

[HungryLion]

Good point!

Yep. Thats why I’m also saying bring on Brooks at RB.

Who cares about the torn ACL. We don’t need him this year anyway.

 

[reddyuta]

If you are really big and athletic you can get away with some technique deficiencies at Tackle.

 

[TheDank]

I'm just wondering is Guyton that much better than Patrick Paul who has longer arms and like 40 games playing LT?

I’m not Guyton’s biggest fan but he’s. Guyton I had as a mid second round pick as a great athlete who needs refinement. Paul is a mid round shot in the dark who has a lot longer way to go and doesn’t have the same killer mentality or ability in space Guyton has.

One thing about Oklahoma linemen, they're very well coached. Bedenbaugh is one of the best OL coaches in the game, and is really good at giving his guys the tools that they need to succeed.

Guyton will need a year or two in the weight room before we see the best of him, but, his current strength, coupled with his size and fundamentals, is good enough to start in the NFL.

I like the pick. I watched most of his games at Oklahoma and I don't recall ever having any concerns from the right side. After a close look, you can see great footwork, a massive frame, great punch, solid technique in pass pro and the run game, and a very large man with a nasty streak.

He needs to work on bending his knees and getting lower to anchor and drive. Once he figures this out, along with added strength from NFL S&C and natural growth with age, we could be looking at a monster of a left tackle...paired with a monster of a left guard. Get a good center and this offensive line is set at the very least, until Martin retires.

 

[reddyuta]

also the extra 3rd RD pick means we can pick a Center maybe even one at 56.

 

[Bluefin]

Dont like that one at all.

Brock Hoffman was a training camp surprise last season.

I like him as the game day interior reserve, but is he ready to be the starter?

T.J. Bass may get a look, but I feel he may be looked at as Zack Martin's replacement in 2025.

Hoping we can add another interior OL with upside.

 

[Jarntt]

Sorry that boat has sailed.......

Taco
Trysten
Mazi
Jaylon Smith
Has missed on multiple mid round picks......

So you name one bad (at this point) pick in the past 4 years and still whine about it?

For those who want to increase the odds of your son eventually becoming an offensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys:

Name him Tyler.

This team never over drafts guys with character concerns. Intel on Kelvin Joseph, Randy Gregory, and Greg Hardy said that the team just had to harness their elite talent and if they busted in Dallas it was the coach’s fault.

CONS

• Only started 14 games in college as a T
• Will probably need some time to develop.
• Not a plug and play guy

LOL......this sounds like Mimms who many would jump all over at 24.

Blah…brings back memories of the Mazi Smith pick last year.
