Predicting the Dallas Cowboys final roster in early training camp
By Randy Gurzi
Dallas Cowboys roster: Offensive Line (10)
Even with Travis Frederick retiring, the Cowboys offensive line should remain one of their strengths in 2020, especially considering their stellar starting tackles.
Tyron Smith, La’el Collins: Tackles
Tyron Smith has been one of the best left tackles in the game for years and La’el Collins has asserted himself as one of the best on the right side since making the transition from left guard. These two are studs and continue to help keep Dak Prescott clean in the pocket.
Connor Williams, Zack Martin: Guards
Zack Martin is widely considered one of the best guards in the game and has the right guard position locked down. Connor Williams, on the other hand, has had problems since moving from tackle at Texas to guard in the NFL. This season will be huge for him.
Joe Looney: Center
Replacing Travis Frederick won’t be easy and while Tyler Biadasz is the favorite to be the long-term starter, he could be hurt by the lack of preseason snaps. For that reason, Joe Looney wins the spot early on. The question is, how long can he hold the rookie off?
Cameron Erving, Brandon Knight, Mitch Hyatt: Reserve Tackles
Brandon Knight has been a solid find and could be the swing tackle this season following the departure of Cameron Fleming. However, he has competition in former first-round pick Cameron Erving who can actually play all five positions. Mitch Hyatt is also in the mix but is mostly a depth piece at this point.
Connor McGovern, Tyler Biadasz: Reserve IOL
Joe Looney edges out Connor McGovern and Tyler Biadasz for the starting center position but both are capable of handling those duties. McGovern, a third-round pick in 2019 who spent his rookie season on the IR, could also challenge Connor Williams. Neither has an NFL snap yet but in time, they could prove their worth.
