00:00Where did the Dallas Cowboys come down with their grade?
00:18Chop, Lulchuk, they were one of the very few teams,
00:21according to Nate Tice, Charles McTown,
00:22that got an A in the NFL draft.
00:25Here's what they wrote up.
00:26They said the Cowboys were able to fill some needs
00:28with players who might be able to make serious impacts as rookies.
00:31Guard Tyler Booker, pass rusher Donovan Ezeraku,
00:34and cornerback Savone Revell.
00:36I've got to get used to saying Savone now.
00:38Savone Revell have a chance to be instant impact starters
00:41with long-term upside for the Cowboys.
00:43Dallas added three players who many draft analysts had as first-round prospects
00:46without trading assets to acquire them.
00:49Good process, hopefully good results for what Dallas was able to pull off.
00:52They said the most interesting pick was Tyler Booker,
00:54saying Dallas continued its love for drafting offensive linemen in the first round,
00:57with a bruising guard from Alabama.
00:59Some viewed this as a reach, but Booker is a high-floor player
01:02who can form a hellacious interior group with guard Tyler Smith and center Cooper Beebe.
01:08I will say, the talk from them saying some viewed Booker as a reach,
01:11that's literally just media analysis.
01:14Because I had reached out to different people at different teams
01:17and just kind of said, hey, where did you guys anticipate Booker was going to go?
01:20And universally, every team I talked to said they thought he was going to go top 20.
01:23Yeah, I think 100% the NFL viewed Tyler Booker as one of the best players in this entire draft.
01:28Arguably one of the best linemen, period.
