Should Dallas Cowboys select an offensive lineman in 2023 NFL Draft?

Even with Edoga on the roster, the Cowboys should still make a move to add more depth. The offensive line issues the Cowboys faced, especially towards the end of the season, are more than what can be solved with one acquisition.

Picking up a new piece in the NFL draft wouldn’t be the worst idea. Here are a few prospects the Cowboys should consider if they go that route.

PETER SKORONSKI, OT

Peter Skoronski is a 6-foot-4, 315 lb offensive tackle from Northwestern. According to Next Gen Stats, he was the 4th most athletic tackle at this year’s NFL Combine but the best overall OT prospect based on their scoring system.

So far, most draft analysts predict he’ll be picked up by the Bears, the Titans or the Lions, all of which have picks before the Cowboys in the first round of the draft.

In college, all of Skoronski’s snaps came at left tackle, protecting his quarterback’s blindside. However, he has traits and as skill set that some believe qualify him to start at any position on an NFL O-Line.

His biggest drawback in the tackle position is his arm length. His arm length is recorded at 32.25 inches, almost two inches below the NFL average. This is why he’s often considered to be a better prospect for the guard position. Even RAS scored him higher as a guard than as a tackle.

Peter Skoronski is a nimble technician with good instincts. The best positional fit for him as a pro may have to be figured out by moving him around. Luckily, Dallas is no stranger to that method.

MATTHEW BERGERON, OT

I’ll admit that I wasn’t initially too high on this particular prospect. Almost every evaluation of Bergeron cites problems or inconsistencies in pass protection. Personally, I’d like the Cowboys to focus on finding people who will keep Dak Prescott clean and upright.

However, even the best offensive lineman are like cast iron skillets. They won’t be at their best until they’re well-seasoned.

According to Dominic White of Pick 6 Sports, Bergeron has all the athletic gifts necessary to develop into a solid pass blocker and do wonders for the run game in the mean time.
