Did the chiefs select the better player 20 picks later?

I mean honestly that’s amazing value to get a tackle like him that late. Guy easily coulda been top 5 pick if not for an injury and we draft a guy who can only play guard. He could’ve been our left or right tackle and even coulda played right guard this year if you wanted.

Patella tendon injury.
Concerns about mental makeup.
26 penalties in college.
33" arms (shorter than coaches/scouts perfer for OT, especially LT).

And he's driving guys into the ground with ease

There is always that chance, but Booker is top rated for guard and he is not dealing with an injury. I don't question that pick, especially after watching his welcome press conference.

This exactly. He's the leader of their culture change. He's much like Travis Frederick, but at a different position.

Sharp as a tack, too.

I know a guy, who many fans behind keyboards said would go early in first day, who went on the 3rd day because of exactly what you are saying.

Booker, in my mind and not at first mind you but after a little more research and watching for myself, was the perfect pick at #12.

Yeah, same. I'll be honest, I didn't expect a guard, so none were really on my radar unless someone else here pointed them out.

So I hadn't really looked at Booker. Great player. Safe pick. That's what you do. The player with the highest hit rate.
