08:05 AM ET 06.14 | Say what you will about Jerry Jones' management of Dallas' personnel, but Tyron Smith appears to be a home run of a draft pick. Let's just call it like it is: Tyron Smith is the most talented football player on the [Cowboys]. ... [Tony Romo] should enjoy the best protection he has ever had since he became the full-time starter in 2007. Smith is 21 with a full season of experience as an NFL starting right tackle. Smith is one of the few guys who not only managed to look like a monster in college, but does so at the pros. He is the biggest of the big. He is 6-foot-5, 310 pounds and he told me that he wants to hit 320 pounds. Smith is now the left tackle, and the way things are lining up we are looking at a man who, physically, could be a Jackie Slater type.

If Free returns to what he was at right tackle and we get improved play in the middle, the line might just be alright.
If Murray returns to full health, he could be set for a monster season.
If wishes were horses...

gotta' have line on both sides of the ball
tis amazing what can happen when the lines actually work ... but this is the Cowboys and JJ just loves the "position" players ... kind of a shame he lacks that basic understanding since he knows how it works

Okay ... you have 1 superstar at left tackle, a hopefully resurgent Free at Right tackle. The middle of the line is still a disaster. Calahan has his work cut out for him.

Garrett cant fix all the crappy personel in 2 seasons ... he just cant. There arent enough high draft picks. WE needs to hit on some of these lower round guys and Free Agents. Like the kid from Prarie View.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out this year. Their defensive secondary will be a hundred times better with Claiborne.

The Cowboys are going no where. Another year of big hype and no production.

Definitely not the answer, but by doing JJ's bidding, he's found a measure of job security.

That slot should be reserved for a Jets/Miami game. Must see comedy TV.

Well, I'm glad I didn't have to choose which to watch. I can't wait to see who the Democrats will select.
I'm with bin Laden on this one. I really hope they go with Joe Biden.

If he wants to add weight, i'm sure Rob Ryan can ask his brother for advice to give to Tyron.
