Top 5 tackle prospects in '26 draft if Cowboys return to OL well again
The Cowboys might find themselves viewing the tackles in this draft as better long-term investments than other spots. Here's who would be considered.
Unlike their defense, the Cowboys don't have many holes on the offensive side of their roster. They are set at quarterback, re-signed their star running back for the long-term, have a tight end who caught 80 passes and scored eight TDs on a team with two All-Pro receivers. On the offensive line, they have an Pro Bowl left guard and drafted a first-round rookie for right guard who met the occasion.
The one area that isn't great though, is their offensive tackle position. Unfortunately, one of the toughest positions to rank for the upcoming 2026 draft is the tackle position. A prospect could’ve played five years as a successful tackle, and the draft community believes he would be a better guard, and he could be on the move, and the tackle ranking is useless.
This happened with Tyler Smith, who was a solid offensive tackle as a rookie, but an All-Pro guard the next year. Projecting a prospect's ability is tough enough without all the possible position changes. In this series of top five at each position, offensive tackle is next up, and it’s not irrelevant for the Cowboys.
