Cowboys OL depth chart: Offensive line at training camp
The Cowboys lost center Tyler Biadsz and left tackle Tyron Smith, so replacing those two on the offensive line was one of their top priorities this offseason. In the 2024 NFL Draft, they picked three offensive linemen: OT Tyler Guyton, OL Cooper Beebe, and OT Nathan Thomas. Guyton and Beebe are expected to replace Smith and Biadsz at left tackle and center, respectively. Guyton doesn’t face much competition behind him at LT, but Beebe will be competing with veteran Brock Hoffman.
The Cowboys have two of the best guards in the league returning to start, Tyler Smith and Zack Martin, which is a good thing because they need some solid players surrounding the others on the o-line. Behind Guyton are Chuma Edoga, Asim Richards, and Earl Bostick Jr., but if something were to happen to Guyton, it’s likely Dallas would put Smith in at LT and Bass starting at LG (unless of course, someone proves themselves worthy ahead of him in training camp).
Here’s a look at how the Dallas Cowboys 2024 offensive line depth chart looks as they head into training camp on Thursday.
2024 Dallas Cowboys offensive line depth chart
Center | Left Guard | Right Guard | Left Tackle | Right Tackle |
---|---|---|---|---|
Brock Hoffman | Tyler Smith | Zack Martin | Tyler Guyton | Terence Steele |
Cooper Beebe | T.J. Bass | Josh Ball | Chuma Edoga | Matt Waletzko |
Dakoda Shepley | Asim Richards | |||
Earl Bostick Jr. |
O-Line Starters
Center - Brock Hoffman
Hoffman is the veteran who will challenge Beebe for the center position, with experience being his big advantage. He played all three seasons at Virginia Tech and Coastal California as their starting center. Last season, Hoffman didn’t allow a single sack and just two hurries.
Center - Cooper Beebe
The Cowboys selected Beebe 73rd overall. At Kansas State, Beebe won Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year two years in a row (2022, 2023) and earned First-Team All-Big 12 selections in each of his last three seasons. Though he mostly played at guard in college (and never at center), he’ll spend at least one season in Dallas at center to replace Biadsz.
Guards
Left Guard - Tyler Smith
Smith has been a versatile player for the Cowboys, bouncing around between left tackle and left guard. In his second season last year, he earned his second Pro Bowl honors and has become a solid piece of the Dallas o-line.
Right Guard - Zack Martin
Potentially heading into his last season in the NFL, Martin dealt with a few injuries last season. Despite 2023 being one of his worst, Martin is a seven-time First-Team All-Pro and two-time Second-Team All-Pro, and is still expected to play at the Pro-Bowl level he usually does heading into 2024.
Offensive Tackles
Left Tackle - Tyler Guyton
Guyton was the Cowboys’ first round pick in the draft this year, and he’s been given the difficult role of replacing former Cowboys star Tyron Smith. When he played for Oklahoma, Guyton played 17 games at right tackle, allowing just one sack and 11 quarterback hurries, but played just two games at left tackle. He’ll have to prove himself during training camp.
Right Tackle - Terence Steele
Steele had a disappointing 2023 season, especially after the Cowboys had just signed him to a five-year, $85,500,000 contract extension. He surrendered 56 pressures, the second-most of all offensive tackles who played at least 80% of the snaps. His run blocking wasn’t nearly as dominant as it had been in the past either. This year, he will need to prove he can get back to form.
