2016 NFL Draft: Should the Giants draft DT Vernon Butler?

Vernon Butler looks like the defensive tackles the Giants have drafted in recent years, but does he play like them?

The New York Giants' defensive line needs work, and while the defensive tackle positions are in better shape than the ends, it is tough to call it a strength.

Johnathan Hankins is an established beast, but with inconsistent play around him, there is only so much he can do by himself. Jay Bromley played well but didn't see much playing time until the end of the year. Montori Hughes is a fun nose tackle, but that's about all, and while Louis Nix has potential, that's all it is at the moment.
