If Booker was 6'2 he'd basically be a Forte comp- big fan.

Tbh though, pure subjective hunch.... Alex Collins is going to be a 300/1300/10 fucking beast at the next level. 40 time be damned, the kid is built like a brick house and is a grinder. I would fap if we got him with our first pick in the 4th.

While I like Booker more, I just don't think he makes it past late 2 / early 3 and we have too many needs to go RB there. The only way we possibly take RB early is if ZEKE falls to 11 which will not happen. His upside isn't quite Gurley, but he has no injury history and can do it all.
I also like Collins a lot. This time last year I thought he would be a committee guy with fumbling issues. Williams goes down and he carried a huge work load that I didn't think he was capable of. I don't think he fumbled once all year either so he seems to have corrected that. The guy is straight up hard to tackle. He will make that first guy miss routinely. Call me a homer but I think I'd take him over Henry. I think he just fits the mold of an NFL back better. I'll take the quick feet over the power back any day.

here is a name, Darius Jackson workout numbers 4.35 40 11 1 broad jump 41 vertical not bad for a 6 0 225 RB. He may not be shifty but definitely one cut and gone type of back.

Saw Elliot on Mike & Mike this morning and he certianly did not look like a stud running back. I was kind of surprised.
