The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0spent another first-round pick on an offensive lineman on Thursday night, taking Alabama’s Tyler Booker at No. 12 overall.<\/p>\n

Booker will have some big shoes to fill\u00a0after Zack Martin announced his retirement this offseason. He also joins a line that now has three first-round selections \u2014\u00a0Tyler Guyton (2024), Tyler Smith (2022).<\/p>\n

New head coach Brian Schottenheimer has made it clear he wants to improve the line, evidenced by the\u00a0hiring of Klayton Adams as offensive coordinator, who was previously an offensive line coach. Still, the reaction from the fan base suggests they’re less than thrilled. As for superstar pass-rusher Micah Parsons, he said he is excited about the pick and claimed Booker is “a beast.”<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, he said this after throwing his hands up in confusion and appearing temporarily speechless.<\/p>\n
