The Dallas Cowboys picked a new big man to protect their QB with the 24th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. This move means Dak Prescott will have a first-round Offensive Tackle, making sure no one gets to him. Tyler Guyton is a big presence, and Dallas needed to strengthen this unit because they lost some big names.
With how the NFL Draft is shaping out and the media attention the Dallas Cowboys get, every pick they make in the Draft is looked through a scope. This is especially true when you consider many people would love for Cowboys’ owner and GM Jerry Jones to step down from his duties. How does this pick affect the Dallas Cowboys?
A New Potential Wall in Dallas
The NFL Draft always brings surprises, but Dallas stayed calm, even trading down from 24 to 29, and still managed to land a first-round caliber tackle in Tyler Guyton. The Oklahoma product stands at 6’8″, 322 lbs. Tyler Guyton is effectively what you call “a unit.”
There are some reaches in every draft class. For Dallas, this might be a good sign that they were not one of those teams who rushed into a pick. With Tyler Guyton, they get a big presence and a young wolf ready to win the battle in the trenches.
Dallas Cowboys Draft Outlook After First Round
Overall, this is a pick that may have an immediate impact on the Cowboys’ roster. Tyler Guyton ranked as the 6th-best offensive lineman according to Next-Gen Stats. Oklahoma is a well-known college football program, so its talent is not deniable.
Also, the Dallas Cowboys lost key pieces like Tyron Smith to the Jets in their offensive line this offseason, so having a 22-year-old mountain of a man protecting their signal-caller will always be a welcome addition.
