Austin Booker Draft Profile:
- The 'Good' from Chat Sports' Tom Downey (@whatgoingdowney on Twitter):
Strong edge rusher, excellent in sack production, good force in tackles​​.

- via The Athletic's Dane Brugler:
Booker is lacking in body mass and overall experience (just 505 career college snaps), but he is an ascending player with the ability to maximize his athletic traits and body length/force with proper biomechanics.
GRADE: 3rd Round (No. 78 overall)

- via PFF:
Booker is an alluring prospect because of his style of pass-rushing but his lack of weight is a concern. He must play with better pad level to mitigate that at the NFL level.

- Downey's 'Bad':
Needs to improve overall strength; Can be inconsistent in run stopping; Struggles with technique consistency.
