VERNON

BUTLER

Vernon Butler, our 119th ranked defensive tackle, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the San Francisco 49ers because they could use a player of this quality to play defensive tackle. The 49ers currently have 9 healthy defensive tackles, and 3 are rated better than Butler: (Maliek Collins, Javon Kinlaw, and Kevin Givens).

The 49ers currently have no defensive tackles under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Butler may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
