It’s about two minutes long, starting at the 10 minute mark.

The more I hear about the kid the more I think they drafted a future team captain and leader for the Oline. I think part of this pick was to have a positive impact on the rest of the lineman, especially Guyton.

No issues with a meat and potato pick at 12 that could be a multi-pro bowl type player. This team problems last year were not being able to run the football and not being able to stop the run. I'm not convinced the right tackle is healthy and he seems like a huge liability in pass protection and I don't think we have done much to address stopping the run either. The cowboys will get 50+ sacks but may give up 135 yards a game on the ground.

Randy was tremendous but there is near 100% chance he would have stumbled in Dallas with that spotlight. Think back to Pac-Man Jones and others.

Greg Ellis had a 12-year career. 84 sacks, 11 fumble recoveries. He was a good run stuffer and pass rusher that was not elite at anything but played at a high level every snap.

I always said had we drafted Randy, Aikman would have played another 5 years!

I remember after the 1998 draft when Dallas took Greg Ellis Jerry said something to the effect he would let Ellis babysit his kids. He was talking about Ellis's character - after passing on drafting Randy Moss. I remember thinking, I don't want my DL to babysit kids. I want them to be mean and nasty. Ellis was a good player. I never thought he was great. He was the 8th pick in the entire draft.

Randy Moss, with his bad character, is in the HoF. He is a great player. And honestly, that bad character never really showed itself much when he played football. How many times did Moss make big plays against Dallas? Too many.

I have no idea what kind of player Booker will turn out to be, but all this leadership and character BS we are being fed on a daily basis means nothing to me. It's great if he can play up to his 12 pick, but if not, he can be General George Patton and it won't make a difference.

Agreed it's start to get a little nauseating. Wish people would give it a rest

Some of you can listen to every opinion everyone has and get swayed by them but it will come down to how he performs once the pads come on. I don’t buy into any player until I see them on an NFL field performing at a high level.
