STM Take
Tier 4 (#30) rookie to tier 6 (#45) sophomore is a 15-spot regression that flags either the position switch difficulty or a year-two ceiling drop. The Kansas State 50-start résumé plus the 2023 Big 12 OL of the Year award establishes real technical foundation. The 2026 question is whether Beebe returns to tier 4 or whether the tier 6 finish becomes the stable baseline at center.
Beebe came out of Kansas State as the Dallas Cowboys' 3rd-round pick (73rd overall) in 2024 after winning the 2023 Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year and starting 50 games for the Wildcats. The Cowboys installed him at center as a rookie despite his college experience at guard, and he delivered a tier 4 (#30) rookie finish. His STTM arc tier 4 (#30) rookie to tier 6 (#45) sophomore is a 15-spot regression that needs explanation.
Strengths
- Rookie tier 4 (#30) STTM finish at center as a college guard is a strong year-one outcome for the position-switch context.
- Kansas State 50-start résumé plus the 2023 Big 12 OL of the Year award gives him real technical foundation that should still compound.
Concerns
- 15-spot drop from tier 4 (#30) to tier 6 (#45) in year two flags the position-switch from guard to center as a continued developmental challenge.
- Dallas's broader offensive line investment pattern (multi-year focus on IOL through high picks) signals the front office may still upgrade.
What to watch: Whether Beebe returns to tier 4 or better in 2026, the threshold for confirming the rookie tier 4 finish was structural rather than situational.
