"If Thomas isn't able to improve against speed rushers, he risks allowing Shelton to take his place on the roster. When one adds left tackle Tyler Guyton's injury concerns into the mix, the spotlight on this battle will be bright."
"Dallas also likes Keegan, and he's a player with a similar play style and temperament to Bass, but at a cheaper cost. Keegan, a fifth-round pick in 2024, has starting experience, plays with power, and is physical in the running game, just like Bass."
"It seems as though Dallas has lost faith in their former second-round pick, Luke Schoonmaker. Last season, he fell behind second-year tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford and now has the Cowboys' priority UDFA Michael Trigg to deal with."
The Dallas Cowboys are managing several competitive position battles during their roster construction. At swing tackle, fourth-round pick Drew Shelton challenges seventh-round pick Nate Thomas, who struggled against speed rushers last season. At guard, the team weighs keeping second-round tender T.J. Bass against cheaper fifth-round pick Trevor Keegan, who offers similar performance at lower cost. At tight end, former second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker faces pressure from priority UDFA Michael Trigg, who has coaching staff support. These competitions reflect Dallas's evaluation of player performance, financial constraints, and emerging talent.
