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.

Why the shot at Guyton?

Good story about Booker's leadership.

This and other reasons. I’m not sure Guyton is where he needs to be on effort, deduction to his craft and professionalism.

MM called out Guyton's work ethic last season. Also, if you recall, Slater's predraft comments mention O-line was possible for the 12th pick in part for leadership. So I kinda agree with OP regarding Guyton.
But I do think he'll (Guyton) be fine.........just wasn't ready to be the total NFL professional

I remember around this time last year right after the draft on his radio show, he questioned the Guyton pick for a lot of the reasons which later played out during the season. He seems to have a lot of good sources in the SEC. Glad that he is speaking positively on the Booker pick.

Booker will be a staple for the line, His character alone beats out his negative athletic score that people bring up..... Being athletic is great but if you don't have the mental part down then its all for nothing.

Fitzsimmons said draft night 2024 he didnt like the Guyton pick. Basically everything Fitzsimmons said about him played out. Poor work ethic and failure to take responsibility I brlieve were his exact words.

Fitzsimmons is very well connected throughout college football but particularly in the south. Knows many coaches in college and HS ranks. I believe his brother is or was the Arizona Cardinals special teams coach.

Saahdiq Charles and Hakeem Adeniji were the cheap vet yard sale to cover interior line gross experience. Last year's talent and Booker solves the need and rebuilds in the present. The center of the Dallas is strong now and put back together.​

The team has been building up at tackle for the past two seasons. Still needs camp type work under the current staff.

Bill Belichick and Greg Popovich, both give you a wink and a nod for that take.

The story about Book calling out the player not sprinting between sessions is a terrific portend.

Do you recall the stories about Irvin and the way he called out the defense in practice every day? Like him of not but Irvin was the motivational player and perhaps one of the reasons Dallas won it all. If this kid shows up and speaks out to get people off their rear ends, does this filter through the playmakers and get this culture straightened out?

This is a great pick.

When he said nfl needs better refs it said alot about Guyton and his mentality. He's a child still. It'll be clear early on if he improved this year

Great. In the next 10 years, this player will never help the Cowboys go to a NFC Championship game. Just more of the same ole tired draft picks that don't amount to squat.

He hasn't been very good? I like Guyton, as a RT.

Booker gives you options with the lineup instead of forcing a square peg in round hole. It's not like Tyler Smith can't play the position or that we don't have guys who can play RG.

I just don't see them leaving Guyton at LT unless he seriously improves...

T Smith, T Booker, T Beebe,
Hoffman/Steele, Guyton

Now that's a lineup. We still have proverbial position flex. Use it.
