Cowboys’ ‘Perfect Fit’ Potential Replacement for Tyron Smith Highlighted
Given the dire salary cap situation the Dallas Cowboys will face this offseason, the 2024 NFL Draft is critical to Jerry Jones’ attempt to revamp a roster that was rocked by the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wild Card.
Dallas could create more than $6 million in cap space by releasing veteran Tyron Smith after June 1, 2024, which could be very beneficial for the Cowboys as the organization is expected to exceed the cap. . This offseason. But whether Smith plays elsewhere or retires at age 33, the Cowboys’ offensive line could benefit.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper released his latest 2024 NFL Mock Draft on Jan. 23, with the Cowboys selecting Arizona offensive tackle Jordan Morgan. Kiper is what Kiper calls “the perfect fit” to replace Smith with the 24th overall pick. “Despite being known for years of outstanding play on the offensive line, left tackle Tyron Smith and right tackle Zach Martin are both 33 years old, and Smith is not under contract,” Kiper wrote. “Obviously they got Tyler Smith in the first round of 2022, who played well at left guard, but they need to add more talent to their ranks. “Morgan is one of my favorite passers in this class. I love the way he moves his feet and handles the turns and tricks. He started 35 games at left tackle in college, making him the perfect replacement for Tyron Smith.
Tyler Smith dominated as a rookie, allowing just one sack in 2023 while earning a 79.7 passer grade from Pro Football Focus. The combination of Morgan and Smith could provide years of stability on the left side of the Cowboys’ offensive line. Jordan
Morgan Research Report
Morgan made a name for himself in 2023 when he returned from an ACL and showed he could be one of the best offensive tackles in the country.
The 6-foot-1, 325-pound Morgan led the Wildcats to an average of 139.7 rushing yards per game and also proved adept in pass protection. Pro Football Network’s Ian Cummings says Jordan is the type of prospect who has both a high floor and a high ceiling.
“At 6-foot-4 and 325 pounds, Morgan has tremendous size, strength and power,” Cummings wrote. “But he also lost a perfect player in 2023 after returning ACL teachers.
According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed only two bags in June 2023, two bags, two bags and two bags.
“Morgan has necessary physical and defective abilities.” “Balance, power, strength, lever and consciousness become a qualified starter in its career and can continue to affect this basis.”
Covboy -to improve protection in 2024
Cowboy’s offensive line was injured in June 2023, and if Dallas begins to develop in 2024, it should be appropriate to defend this. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott handled the pressure in 2023 despite throwing the second-most touchdown passes (36) and fourth-fewest interceptions (9) of his career.
Baker Mayfield is the only quarterback to make the NFL playoffs and will have more sacks in 2023 than Prescott’s 39.
