While Tyler Smith has tempting upside, the Cowboys had their heart set on an offensive lineman and simply reached. I'm sure they tried to move down, but if you can't find value with the pick. This isn't it. I have my doubts about him playing tackle, and believe his best position is guard, once he takes a significant step with his development. If he plays as a rookie, expect the Cowboys to lead the NFL in penalties, which was a possibility without him. Grade C-
