Has us taking Mr Peppers from Michigan.

Idk how I feel about Peppers.

Not really great at anything.

There's no way the first round goes down that way. Peppers is a helluva player ... too similar to Jones and isa to be a first round need though. I'd be torn unless I was confident we'd use him right ... which I am hesitant. Passing on Cunningham would be brutal.

Peppers returning punts alone will win some games but I just don't see drafting him unless there's a plan. I can't see him just being a strong safety. Anyway if I must have a Michigan man, give me some Taco.

peppers could fall that low?

 

[DKphin]

Do you not think that he would be more suited to a Tampa2 defense and have a role similar to what Lynch did?

Peppers' versatility, physicality, and athletic ability would be welcome, but in that situation, I'm drafting Takkarist McKinley.

*should add the caveat: Combine is super important to McKinley, but I think he'll perform well.

Potentially mainly because he's a rover and plays all over so he never had a defined position in college. He best compares to Deone Buchanon

2 certain things in the NFL: Cleveland not having a winning season, and Cleveland always having at least 2 picks in the 1st round yet it never seems to make a difference.

The best comparison for Peppers in my vision is Troy Polamalu. That's how you'll utilize his skillset if you know what you're doing. In the box covering short and medium range crossers and buzzing the flats, and up close to the LOS as a blitzer. People forget Polamalu was also a LB/S hybrid early in his career at USC and that's how the Steelers used him.

The major difference being Peppers hasn't shown quite the ball skills of Polamalu or Bucannon in college. Bucannon spent much more time as a single high safety in deep coverage than Peppers ever has. I don't necessarily agree that he's the best comparison for Peppers.

isn't Cunningham a bit too skinny to play MLB?

He's got the frame to add plenty.

Peppers is a gamechanging talent. We might have Reshad in house already but you find ways to fit talents like Peppers. At #22, very hard to pass up.

Jabril Peppers is an exceptional athlete, who does not play any offensive or defensive position exceptionally.

He's a Taylor Mays type.
