Flame me on this if I deserve it, but I have zero idea what the Cowboys were thinking taking Tyler Booker at 11. Yes, Zach Martin retired, and I understand needing to fill that particular hole, but man, that team needs a DESPERATE influx of playmakers at every position across the board, offense and defense. They could have taken literally ANY of the selections after them (minus the other two guards) and it would have made more sense to me than taking Booker. They have CeeDee Lamb on offense and Micah Parsons on defense, and.....I couldn't tell you who else. Get players to help free the two superstars up so they can make plays.
And I don't hate Tyler Booker in any way. He may well end up being a first ballot HoF'er when it's all done, but that pick for that team made me say "WTF?" out loud when they made it. Plus, you'd think Brian Schottenheimer would want to lead with a splash pick to garner a little interest in what he's planning, but maybe that's just me.
