Will Dallas ignore their past trends and consider Tulsa OL Tyler Smith?

Often linked to the Cowboys, does the Tulsa product have what it takes to make them ignore tradition? Tyler Browning (@DiabeticTyler) takes a look at the lineman’s film.

There’s been a lot of buzz about the Cowboys liking offensive tackle Tyler Smith of Tulsa. Smith went to Tulsa in 2019 and was red-shirted. In 2020 he got his first real at playing time (only playing four in 2019). in 2020 he played in and started in all nine games. He earned his way onto the Freshman All-America by the FWAA and The Athletic. He also earned first-team all-AAC honors.

Smith is a better run blocker than he is a pass blocker at the moment. He plays with power but he has some things to clean up. So does he fit with the Cowboys? His selection would betray a lot of what we know about how they like to do business. His tape would have to be super impressive to buck tradition. Is it?
