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.

I laughed out loud when that pick was made.
That high of a pick needs to impact wins and losses and while guard is a safe pick, it’s not a pick that will propel their overpriced QB to be able to win playoff games. If you’re going to take a guard, then trade down even if you need to lose a little value.
If they absolutely had to stay put, that pick should have been Tyler Warren, not booker.
Even Hampton or Egbuka would have been better picks and they wouldn’t need to make the desperation move of trading for a cancer like Pickens.
