Dynasty Summary: Devontae Booker is a do-it-all prospect. Outside of top-end speed and herculean power, Booker is a must have at his undervalued price. It’s hard to find a workhorse running back, and Booker has done enough to prove he has the potential to be that at the next level. With such a refined game, he can step in as a rookie and pay instant dividends to your investment. Don’t let the unknown physical data get in the way of excellent tape. Instead of targeting guys such as CJ Prosise (raw), Paul Perkins (COP/third down back) and Jordan Howard (lacks any versatility), take the player that gives you the best opportunity at headlining a backfield for years to come, and that’s Mr. Devontae Booker.
Rotoworld: 155. Where He Wins: On tape, Booker showed a sensational aptitude for making himself skinny and fitting through cracks, as well as quick feet and run-finishing
Mark Dulgerian: If Booker stays healthy, we'll look at back at this pick as being one of the best in the 2016 draft. From his versatility to his one-cut downhill style, this is a great fit. Expect Booker to compete for a healthy dose of touches in 2016. --
