In his first 23 years owning the Cowboys, Jerry Jones did not select an offensive lineman in the first round of any draft.

Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer said this about Booker: "I'm not just excited about the player. I'm extremely excited about the person."

Booker is a player who fills a need for the Cowboys and was high on their draft board. He was mainly a left guard in college but said moving to the right side won’t be a problem. If you want to say this is a safe pick, that would be fair, but in a lot of ways this is the correct pick for a team that seeks upgrades to their offensive line.
