Overview
Butler is likely the top punting prospect in this year's draft. He is a boomer who has been very reliable at Georgia. He consistently punts the ball as deep as anyone currently in the NFL. An athlete and not a liability in coverage, he has late-round value to a team that needs a punter.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Butler has struggled the few times he's had a ton of defenders in his face. Looks calm most of the time, but when faced with pressure, it remains to be seen if he can get the ball off as effectively. While he is an athlete with NFL safety size, he didn't have to cover much in college, and he'll be tested early at the next level.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
