Round 3, Pick 79 - San Diego Chargers - Donald Butler

Donald Butler, LB, Washington
Ht: 6’ 1 1/8” Wt:  245

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Butler is the type of player that will make his impact on special teams immediately and could develop into a starting linebacker in a season or two.  Though he is somewhat physically limited, his instincts and playmaking capabilities won't keep him off the field in the NFL.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Played inside as a senior but fits best on the weak side in a 4-3 front where he is free to run to the ball. Instant special-teams contributor. NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  His narrow build could make it difficult for him to add the size and strength necessary to handle the bigger, stronger guards in the NFL.  His relentlessness and good open-field tackling skills will help him rack up tackles.  Considering his frame and relative comfort in coverage, some teams will view Bulter as an outside linebacker prospect.
