I thought he would be a good pick for the Bills much earlier.... Lions took him.
Damn! I Wanted Scott!

Brad Butler, OT Virginia
SUMMARY Butler was a tough player to evaluate, because despite being stiff and lacking quick feet, he has good balance and can stay on his feet and maintain blocks out in space much better than most limited athletes. He has the height and long arms teams like, and when he becomes more consistent punching the defense end, he will be a good pass protector in the NFL. He will always have trouble handling the explosive speed rusher, but better hand use will help him improve in all other areas. He is an effective positional run blocker, who can seal his man off from the play along the line of scrimmage, and can get through to block effectively on the second level. Overall, even though he is not a good athlete, he will remind folks of the Eagles' Jon Runyan on film. He really looks and plays a lot like Runyan did when he came out of Michigan. Butler is going to enter the NFL expected to be a backup by most, but by his second or third season, he will become a solid starting tackle who does a solid job, but is not dominant. His combination of height, long arms, toughness, competitiveness and efficiency gives him the best chance at becoming a starting NFL right tackle.
