Is taking a guard at No. 12 bad drafting? The Cowboys have pressing offensive needs this offseason, and with the No. 12 overall pick, there was plenty of talent to choose from. Dallas could’ve picked a wide receiver or another flashy offensive weapon to help QB Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb on that side of the ball. But Cowboys Nation is upset because Jerry Jones used the team’s first pick to draft a guard.
Alabama’s offensive guard Tyler Booker got lucky on Thursday night, as America’s Team picked him with their top selection. But Cowboys fans are not exactly on board with the decision, and neither are some notable names. Then again, it wouldn’t be the first time the Cowboys did the exact opposite of what fans were hoping for. Well, with the team spending its first pick on a guard, the truth is—even the locker room didn’t seem all that thrilled. Or to be more precise: Micah Parsons wasn’t. The Cowboys LB was on a live draft show when the host announced, “And the Dallas Cowboys are selecting… Tyler Booker, offensive lineman from Alabama.” The disappointment on Micah’s face was immediate and impossible to miss.
The host couldn’t help but burst into laughter at his reaction. Micah tried to play it off, saying, “Hold on. I am excited about the pick. This guy is a beast. He is a beast. And I look at him and Tyler Smith, guard on guard with Zach Martin leaving. This is one of them picks. I mean, wow.“
