14. Tyron Smith

Tyron Smith was considered to be one of the most coveted Offensive Lineman of the 2011 Draft, and it was the Dallas Cowboys who snagged the USC product ninth overall that year.

The selection proved to be gold for Dallas, as he was an All-Rookie that year, and in 2013, he would earn his first of what has been seven consecutive Pro Bowls, with four of those seasons seeing him earn All-Pro Selections (two First Team and two Second Team).  Smith's contributions have done wonders for the Cowboys' running and passing game, and much of their offensive success can be attributed to the Left Tackle.  He was dominant, that he was named to the 2010s All-Decade Team.

Smith played four more years in the 2020s with the Cowboys, though battled injuries through most of it.  His phenemonal run with Dallas came to an end after the 2023 Season when he signed with the New York Jets.
