Broncos' Devontae Booker: Could compete early

Booker (knee) could make an immediate impact in Denver's backfield, the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Booker was reportedly Denver's second-favorite back in the draft, and the Broncos were able to snag him in the fourth round. He has the decisiveness, power and wiggle to thrive in head coach Gary Kubiak's one-cut scheme. Booker rushed for 2,773 yards and 21 touchdowns in just 23 games at Utah. He's not a perfect prospect, as he'll soon be 24 and is recovering from a torn meniscus, but expect him to push for playing time this year and challenge starter C.J. Anderson not too far down the line.
