meixdaddy_10 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Im definitely a fan of this pick. I personally would have taken him anywhere after pick 20 in the first round and been fine with it. Great that we got to get him early to mid 2nd though. Was nervous when we trade back to 53 since i didnt think he would be there. Nice to offer a small package to move up and get him and recover a 4th Rd pick. Will be exciting to see him get on the field when healthy and see what he can do. Hopefully he'll turn out better than the last Clemson DB we took in the 2nd round (not that Alexander was a complete bust or anything).

vikingsrule Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Would assume that Booth and Dantzler will immediately compete for the starting spot opposite of Peterson. Any chance Booth can kick inside and play slot in case Dantzler makes a major leap this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle2heaven Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Booth is the best value of the Vikings draft. He was a sure fire first rounder before he couldn’t test and the core muscle surgery. I’m really excited for his potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric dunn Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 IF he can stay healthy, this is the CB1 guys. I know this guy has what it takes to be a pro bowl CB. My comp for him is Chris McAlister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only great pick TBH. Blind squirrel finds the nut sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Was my guy at 34, thrilled to get him at 42!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 According to Pro Football Focus, Booth hasn’t given up a 20-plus yard catch in his last 334 snaps on the football field. https://vikingswire.usatoday.com/2022/05/03/crazy-stat-proves-andrew-booth-jr-ultimate-deep-throw-nullifier/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1zTyv1aFUWHHrCOHnlPlTe87GB2TOoooM1CVbXEf32grIUCRyDu0Xm4Zs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booth has a chance to surpass Dantzler, but right now, he's going to be #4 with Hand and Boyd after them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got to digest the entire defensive playbook. However, I think he'll definitely get a lot of run with the 1's and in 3 and 4 CB packages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I'd expect: Boundary: Peterson, Dantzler, Booth, and Evans Slot/Nickel: Sullivan and Hairston That's 6 right there, not sure how many we kept last year but that leaves Boyd, Hand, and the rest of the bunch fighting for a spot or two.

But typically, veterans have seen and played in concepts that rookies have not. They are, in theory, better able to pick those up more quickly. It's not a foregone conclusion, but I'd trust that Patrick Peterson would pick it up more quickly than Booth will. Ditto for the CB's they brought in as FA's. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think he should be expected to be a Day 1 starter. He'll get every chance to prove himself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Plus, the NFL playbook is significantly thicker than a college football playbook, so it's going to take a little bit more time to stomach it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
