I’ve been banging the table for Austin Booker. Has a Jason Taylor type frame. Much respect to you for doing this breakdown. I think he is one of the sleepers for edge rusher
He needs to put on another 25 pounds in order to be affective other than that his hands and footwork is good he just needs to continue to work on his game
I don't agree with so many people that are trying to draft EDGE this early or earlier for the Dolphins. I know we have the injuries there, and lost AVG...however AVG was a luxury to have as a 3rd guy, and the Dolphins have MUCH larger real needs. If Dolphins manage to trade back and still get a solid lineman in round 1, get a DT in round 2 like Orhorhoro/Fiske/etc. and we manage to get a pick somewhere in the 80-100 range from trading back, then I would rather see them get a big body WR like Johnny Wilson or a bruiser back like Braelon Allen(or even another OLineman/DT/CB/S/LB way before going edge in this range).
Love ur content my man but this is by far the worst prospect you have focused on. He’s small , not explosive, and he gets skinny cus he weights 130lbs , he’s not fast, they will man handle him in the next level guaranteed
I definitely have my concerns with his game. But there are never any guarantees my man. He is explosive just not bendy. As I said he will be more of a pass rush specialist type especially early in his career
He just got drafted, and the comment sections are full of fans who watched him in college saying he’s very fast, very explosive with a good motor. Your assessment is way off. That, and at the combine he weighed about 250. He is not elite and needs to both gain size and work on technique, but he’s good enough to be a productive starter eventually. He will probably be a rotation piece with starter potential.
