I like Butler a lot, and would gladly take him. Chaney has the size, just not the strength. Possibly he could get more lower body power with a solid work-out regimen and better technique.

Johnson and Spikes are good run stuffers, but are too slow to be in on passing downs. In most 2nd and long situations, they have to come out, and basically we have a 1 down player.

Today's pass happy NFL is about speed first and foremost. A guy can get stronger or football-smarter, but he can't get faster. Draft a 3 down player like Butler or Chaney, in my opinion.
