FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys took Oklahoma offensive lineman Tyler Guyton with the 29th pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night, trading down five spots while targeting a group that lost two starters to free agency.
Guyton played mostly right tackle in two seasons with the Sooners after starting his college career not far from the home of the Cowboys at TCU.
Dallas lost eight-time Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith to the New York Jets in free agency, while center Tyler Biadasz signed with Washington.
The addition of Guyton might allow the Cowboys to keep 2022 first-round pick Tyler Smith at left guard. Tyler Smith spent most of his rookie season filling for an injured Tyron Smith before switching to left guard last season.
The Cowboys sent the 24th overall pick to Detroit while adding an early third-round choice. The trade gave Dallas four picks in the top 100. The Lions took Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold at No. 24.
