Jake Butt NFL Draft 2017: Scouting Report for Denver Broncos' Pick

One of Michigan's team captains, Jake Butt has great hands with only seven career drops on 164 targets over last three seasons, per Pro Football Focus. He's a big red-zone target who displays a large catch radius and the ability to go up and win at the catch point. Butt is a quarterback's best friend with a 72 career completion percentage when targeted. He lives over the middle of the field to move the chains. He's a fearless, selfless player who can be a reliable safety valve for an NFL offense quickly when fully recovered from ACL surgery he had in January.
