  1. 1. Vernon Butler at #30: Would you do it again?



Recommended Posts

At the time it was a good pick. There was no guarantee that KK would be back. Without him we would've been extremely thin at the position like always before the Gettleman era. Now it looks kind of bad since we have two starters in place, but who knows. He can still develop into a very good player imo and you can never have too many big men up front with all the injuries. He looked great in camp before getting hindered with injuries himself. I'd rather go Butler again than a random wr that shula could probably never get involved/develop or have Ron bury him beneath pet players.

Yes... because with the power of hindsight... the logical thing to do would be to still pick him ahead of: 

Emmanuel Ogbah, Hunter Henry, Myles Jack, Sterling Shepard, Derrick Henry, Michael Thomas, Deion Jones, Vonn Bell etc. etc.

For those that hate Seattle and enjoy their demise, this helped.  They thought we would go elsewhere and they would land him.  As a result they traded assets for Reed, traded major assets for Richardson who isn’t there anymore, and drafted a total bum in McDowell as a result.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
