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 compete 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, Dallas would likely 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 the Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 offensive line depth chart as they head into the second week of training camp.

2024 Dallas Cowboys offensive line depth chart

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.

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.

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 he played just two games at left tackle. He doesn’t see that as a problem, though.

“It’s just switching your footwork, your hands and your technique, and also fitting the plays in the run,” said the rookie. “I actually feel like I’m better at left tackle and I’m more comfortable over there anyway. The switch should be pretty easy.”

He’s done well so far in training camp, holding his own against All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons on several occasions, including during their first padded practice.

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. This year, he will need to prove he can get back to form.
