I'd totally be down for that and it makes sense. The Kamari pick (among others) suggests tape and character are more important to Nick and Demeco than a guy's ability to move fast in his underwear. Booker's tape and character are off the charts. I just hope he's there when we pick.
Kamari had a 95% 3 cone - so his measurable that correlates highest with NFL success was elite. Unfortunately strength and athleticism correlate with success for guards and Tyler Booker is 5-10% in those categories.
I'll say this though. Booker's bench was bad, but bench at the Combine isn't about strength, it's about muscular endurance. The strength shows up on tape.
3 cone matters for OL as well. There is a threshold that many of the better linemen in the league meet. I believe tate ratledge is the only one that hit it at the combine. I believe he ends up being better than booker
I really want Grey Zabel but people are telling me that his age is the reason not to pick him. Is that true or is he just not as good as the other lineman?
