Visit Tracker: Darius Butler

Connecticut cornerback Darius Butler has been busy this spring, visiting at least 10 teams. According to various reports, Butler either already has or will visit with the Bills, Jets, Titans, Vikings, Saints, Rams, Broncos, Browns, Dolphins and Falcons.

Its clear that Butler is generating interest from teams and he will almost certainly come off the board in the early 2nd round. While undersized, he's been a playmaker throughout his career playing both corner and receiver as a senior. He's an ideal fit at the nickleback position and could see immediate playing with any of the teams which he has visited.

In my latest mock draft I have Butler going to the Texas in the 2nd round. Jacques Reeves appears to have the best shot at starting opposite Dunta Robinson with Antwaun Molden and Fred Bennett as the backups. Molden, entering his second year, has some upside but Reeves and Bennett offer little to look forward to. Butler would be able to compete for immediate playing time, and likely see time on special teams as well.
