In a surprising move during the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected Tyler Booker, an offensive lineman from Alabama, over a much-anticipated offensive playmaker. Booker's credentials include being a two-time All-SEC and All-American selection, as well as a team captain with the Crimson Tide. Experts generally rated the pick positively, citing Booker's toughness and intelligence, suggesting he could immediately enhance the Cowboys' running game. While some questioned the choice over needing a receiver, the move fits the Cowboys' strategy of strengthening their offensive line.
Booker's intelligence and toughness should help the Cowboys' running game right away. He's been a sturdy pass protector, too, as college defenders found it difficult to get around his wide frame.
Tyler Smith and Tyler Booker should be one of the best, young guard duos in the league that will play a whole lot of power football for the Cowboys.
He is a mauler... but why not receiver here?
They say everything is bigger in Texas and that now applies again to their offensive line with Booker, among the most imposing players in this class.
