2.02 Indy Hoosier Daddy's - WR Hakeem Butler

This is the third of Indy's three picks in the top 18, and how well they fare with those picks will be critical in their rebuilding effort.  In my estimation, they did very well.  They got the QB depth (and possible upgrade) with Kyler Murray, a speedy WR in Mecole Hardman, and now a big and athletic WR in Butler.  Not many receivers of his size perform as well has Butler did (6'5”/227 with 10.75" hands, 4.48 while notching a respectable 36" vertical leap and a 128" broad jump).  The folks at footballguys.com love him, too—prior to the NFL Draft, four of their experts (Jason Wood, Dan Hindery, James Brimacombe and Jeff Haseley) had Butler in their top five rookies.  He lands in a very good job situation in Arizona, even though the Cards also drafted speedy Andy Isabella a day earlier.
