What they had to say about him: “Booker has ideal size, awareness and consistency. In the pass game, he sets with a wide/firm base and easily absorbs power rushers. He keeps his hands tight and when he locks on, he wins. When he’s uncovered, he looks for work and delivers some nasty shots to unsuspecting opponents.
“In the run game, he can move defenders lined up over his nose and he is excellent on combo blocks up to the second level. He takes great angles, and he gathers and walls off linebackers. Sources at Alabama compare his leadership qualities to those of former Tide star Will Anderson Jr. There are some concerns about Booker’s athleticism based on his Combine performance, but he’s still a perfect fit for a gap-scheme team with a power running game.” — NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah
How he stacks up: Jeremiah lists Booker as No. 23 on his most recent version of his Top 50 players in the class. Booker comes in at No. 20 in Dan Brugler of The Athletic’s list of the Top 100 players in the draft.
“He is built like a bull, with the play strength and finishing mentality to match, although his average foot quickness might not be ideal for every scheme. Booker is a plug-and-play guard and should be a longtime pro,” Brugler wrote.
