6 OLB Lester Butler, Oklahoma
Are you a team with a top ten pick that needs a run stopping OLB? Then you've found your man in two-time first team All-American Lester Butler. Lester has been molesting opposing RB's for four years at Oklahoma, starting 45 games for the Sooners. In each of the past two seasons he has registered over 100 tackles, and boasts 45 tackles for loss in his career. No doubt about it, Butler is strong against the run.
Don't expect much else from him, though. In four years and over 700 passing plays, Butler failed to register a single sack, pass block, or hurry, His coverage skills in college were average at best. Any team that takes him high in the first round will hope that his coverage skills are good enough to play him in nickel situations, because it would be tough to justify such a high pick on a WLB that might only be on the field for half the defensive snaps.
