The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Tyler Booker, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Tyler Booker’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
If you’re looking for a sturdy anchor at guard who can dish out punishment as well as he can absorb it, Tyler Booker is your guy. With a low center of gravity and a thick, well-proportioned frame, Booker is very tough to move at the point of attack.
His powerful lower half helps him neutralize power rushes along the interior, and his flexibility helps him maximize his power. Booker won’t necessarily wow you in space, though he did look a bit quicker after he lost weight before the 2024 season. His hand placement needs work, though there’s a lot to like in his game elsewhere.
Given his coordination, his length at guard, his IQ and stunt vision, and his power in a phone booth, Booker could end up selected in the middle of the first round. He likely won’t be targeted by wide zone teams, but he has the makings of a quality long-term starter in power, gap, and inside zone looks.
Tyler Booker’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Booker landed in Round 2 with the 58th overall pick. James Fragoza has this to say:
Tyler Booker is a fine slice of Wagyu beef—he moves with the kind of smooth power you’d expect from the best. However, lock him in a phone booth, and he’ll be serving up so many pancakes that even IHOP would be jealous of his production.
And in CSN’s recent 3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Brian Burden had this to say about Booker’s selection to the San Francisco 49ers in Round 2 with the 43rdpick:
Tyler Booker, an All-SEC and All-American guard, would be a gift to the 49ers at this position. He had 87 knockdown blocks last season while also showing the versatility to move outside to left tackle when needed.
