Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said team officials deliberated between Booker and another prospect in the first round throughout Thursday. That player was still available with the No. 12 pick. According to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Ole Miss defensive lineman Walter Nolen was the prospect in question.

All offseason, we've been hearing about how the Dallas Cowboys need more playmakers. Are they going running back? Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton were linked heavily to the Cowboys. What about wide receiver?

Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer said this about Booker: "I'm not just excited about the player. I'm extremely excited about the person."
