[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 662270"] I've gone cold on Butler. I'm not seeing him bringing anything Pennel doesn't bring, and I'm just not seeing him as a first-round-worthy 3-tech. Spending that pick on a guy to cover 4 games does not make sense. The same issue applies to a run-stopping strong-side base 5-tech, which is where Pennel played a fair amount of the time last season. How much is that really worth? In a way, the classic run-stopping, double-team-consuming NT or 5-tech, which is all Raji devolved into and which Pennel can already do while providing some pocket push, has limited utility in a nickel-dominated defense, and what is becoming a nickel dominated league. It's like the 2-down ILB. Do you spend that pick on guy not likely to earn more than 40% of the snaps, as with Raji? The first best argument for that pick in the first round is that, as with Raji, Thompson and/or Capers put some premium on that kind of player. With Raji, though, the perceived value in the locker room, and being a "Packer guy" in that he was often positioned against his strengths at 2-gap nose for the good of the scheme, may have been valued as much as productivity. The second best argument is how depleted the D-Line happens to be. While I don't believe Thompson takes the best player available, I think the value proposition with Butler is far enough away from the best player likely to be available, he'd be inclined to fill the D-Line gaps further down the board. I'm bumping him down to the second round where the value proposition is more appealing. [/QUOTE]
