Default Don Banks from SI: His sources say Belichick will select Darius Butler

From his latest mock draft:

Quote:
I have it on good authority that Belichick loves Butler and will make him the second cornerback to come off the board. All you need to know is the Pats head coach attended UConn's pro day, and that's not an every-day trip for Mr. Hoodie.
Percy Harvin goes No. 22 to Minnesota Vikings in NFL Mock Draft - Don Banks - SI.com

Mike Reiss predicted that this was a possibility a few weeks back too. Now the question is whether it is a smoke screen or genuine interest.

If BB reaches for Butler at 23, I will absolutely lose it..............

He's my second choice at #23. Great intangibles, fluid, athletic, a bit scant.

Eventhough Banks is predicting that Belichick will take him at 23, doesn't mean he will take him there even if Banks' source is correct. Belichick does have another pick 11 spots later and two more shortly after that. Just because Belichick is targeting Butler doesn't mean it is with the first pick.

That's my Out-Takes mock pick at #23, too. Damn, I was hoping to look mildly intuitive. Then again, what were the odds of that?!

Well, last year it was that we coveted Gholston and that the Jets were going to prevent us getting our man. This did happen, but from all later accounts BB wanted Mayo all along and the Gholston stuff was just a smoke screen (which the Jets apparently fell for).

I can't believe BB would openly and obviously target a player. So what he went to UConn's pro day? It's a 90 minute drive; it might have been his day off and he was in the mood for a drive (can't you just see him explaining it that way?). This all smacks of BB draft day gamesmanship. I am just happy something NFL related is happening this weekend!

Again, i think its just like all these so called mock draft experts think Belichcik will take Clay Matthews jr, because his dad took him.. at 23 Belichick will take the best player available, and that may be Julius Peppers by draft day...

But will say this , if julius peppers is not a Pat by this weekend, its pretty much a lock he will not be...

I would be OK with that pick, but not enthralled. Butler was a late 2nd rounder until the combine, his upside seems similar to Wheatley and even Wilhite. If we were to sign Bodden for multiple years - which he seems open to - and Wheatley or Wilhite develop, we're set at CB indefinitely. So spending a 1st rounder on a guy who does not have elite upside wouldn't make me jump for joy, but Butler is very much in the Pats CB mold, so I could live with it I guess.

I would say that the only thing that is now a certainty in this weekends draft is that we will now NOT draft Darius Butler.
