Positives - In 2001 and 2002 in Chicago, Booker posted top 12 WR numbers. In 2003, his production dropped, but he still managed WR3 points. His move to Miami was disappointing, but most moves are in their 1st season. The passing game should be improved this season with either Feely or Frerotte at the helm. Booker has a lock on the 2nd WR spot in Miami and should improve upon his numbers from last year.

Negatives - His receptions were cut in half from his top performances in 01 and 02. In both his last year in Chicago and first year in Miami, he averaged just 51 receptions. Just one measly touchdown last year didn’t help his numbers either.

Draft Strategy - Because the Vikings were taken, I decided to grab another WR here while I searched for my 2nd Defense. Booker finished as the 52nd WR last season, and I’m getting him here as the 68th receiver drafted. I expect him to finish at least as well as last season so felt this was an excellent value pick.
