TALENT BOARD ROUND 1.38
Hakeem shows me on film a burning desire to dominate. You can see it in his play on the field, in way he blocks and the way he goes after the ball in the air. He is raw and his route running is inconsistent and lacks polish. He reminds me a lot of Terrell Owens when he came out and I believe, after some adjusting to the next level that Hakeem will become a franchise receiver like Terrell was but without the ON FIELD baggage that seem to follow Owens around from team to team. Out of all these receivers in this draft Hakeem has the biggest upside and that’s saying a lot because there are some very good, big, strong and fast one’s as we all have seen in the combine workouts. If Hakeem keeps his head on straight and doesn’t get it stuck up his buttocks and works hard, he will be the best and become a franchise receiver for the team that selects him. I’m betting he will.
Is this a guy we take top of the 2nd round?
6 Montez Sweat / Haskins
17 Andre Dillard (if he drops) , Dalton Risner Devin Bush
37 Hakeem Butler / Jaylon Ferguson

He makes some incredible catches, but yes, I wish his hands were most consistent
Hands arent amazing but Im hoping they get better. But that is a flag for sure. Problem is this draft class is not that strong. He is one of the better ones of a pretty weak class. They all have moderate to substantial flags pretty much.
Interesting Cosell is one of the best out there.
Hakeem the Dream Butler - ( New Window )
I watched Butler all year. He's about as close to Plax as one could want. He even took over games this last season like Plax did for us.
6'6" 225lbs, 60 catches for 1318 yards, 9 TDs, 22 YPC avg
Runs a sub-4.5 40
83 7/8" wingspan

What did he think about his catching ability. Ive seen a bunch of insane highlight catches but did he have alot of concentration drops?
Butler could add that big physical element we haven't had since Plax
Good stuff montana, thanks! I really think this kid is gonna beast in the NFL.
Isabella is a slot guy. We have that in Shep. Let's get some size on the outside.

He tends to have the drops early in games and they aren't for the most parts the kind of easy catch drops that can be a worry. Then it will be in the 4th qtr and ISU is making a comeback and he literally will make 3 straight great catches in a row.
Also watch that ISU QB Purdy, he might be a steal of the draft in 2 years

Good stuff Montana.
