Tyler Booker was recently selected by the Dallas Cowboys who used their No.12 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. While there is so much to celebrate here, Skip Bayless, known for not holding back, took to X to express his sadness with the Cowboys going with Booker and not his pick.
Bayless expected the Dallas Cowboys to go with Tyler, but only a different one. The renowned sports journalist hoped that the Cowboys would select Tyler Warren, who last played as a tight end for the Penn State Nittany Lions. After Booker went to the Cowboys, Warren was selected as the 14th pick in the first round of the draft by the Indianapolis Colts.
“I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT TYLER BOOKER. GOD GUY, LEADER, WINNER. WORKER. HE JUST ISN’T TYLER WARREN,” Skip Bayless tweeted through his X account, expressing his displeasure at the Dallas Cowboys drafting Tyler Booker.

Meanwhile, Bayless’ pick, Tyler Warren, played as a tight end for the Penn State Nittany Lions from 2020 to 2024.

Tyler Booker Does Not Want To Be Zack Martin For Cowboys
After he was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2025 NFL draft, Tyler Booker spoke to reporters, mainly about the style of play he aims to bring to his first team in the league. While Booker may not be the best pick overall in the draft, he truly makes sense for the Cowboys who are seeking a replacement for Zack Martin who retired some time back.

According to Booker, he does not desire to totally replace Zack Martin in the team. What the young player wants to do is bring an amalgam of Martin’s play and his own style of play for the Dallas Cowboys. Booker additionally remarked that he actually hoped to play for the Cowboys when he was training in the team’s facility, but the selection came as a total surprise.
