I'm glad you brought this up. The real question is, is there a team that would draft a 27 year old corner back, that will be matched up against #2 receivers more than #1's and will cost 13 million a year, in the first round?


That said CB wouldn't already have 3 years under his belt thus it would be ridiculous to give him 13 million a year. Butler is a proven commodity, the scenario you just made he would not be.

So no.

Even for a rookie contract, how many teams would use a first round pick on a 27 year old that they new would start but play against more #2 receivers as #1's. You would have possibly have some, but not many.
