Crezdon Butler (CB, Clemson)

[NYPacker]

Known to be a workout warrior but looks great on tape. Has tremendous ball skills and could contribute immediately for the pack. I don't know how in the world he's projected to be a 7th rounder but with a little bit of coaching he'll be able to transform into a Pro Bowl CB.

I'll just say he'd be a great 7th round pick-up.

CB is one of the positions where you have to say potential exceeds anything else. Lots of CB's come out of smaller school's or arent highly touted out of college. Most college's make their elite athletes go WR not CB. So when you can find an Elite Athlete at CB I like the pick. Cause you just never can really predict if they are gonna have the mental toughness to be an NFL CB.

Well from what I see in Butler's tape is just that. He has speed and great leaping ability. Unlike other athletes however, Butler actually shows football smarts. His range and ball skills are really good. I don't know if he'll be a No.1 CB as he's played in the No. 2 spot his entire career at Clemson but he can contribute right away for us at nickel/dime duties.
