1.07 Tampa Bay Meat Goats - RB Devontae Booker

In the real world: Booker, a JuCo transfer in 2014, "has the potential to develop into a good third-down back" according to Todd McShay. He needs to improve ball security, and has relatively small (8.5") hands. He tore his meniscus late last season. Could he land in a similar job situation to Arian Foster? (Foster was the Texans' lead RB for years when Gary Kubiak was their head coach; he led the Broncos to a Super Bowl title in his first season as their head coach.)
In the TUFF world: The Meat Goats, already in need of depth at running back, took a nasty hit at that position when the Tennessee Titans, DeMarco Murray's new team, also drafted Derrick Henry. Thus, Booker is a reasonable pick here. If he supplants C.J. Anderson as Denver's top back, this becomes a great pick.
