I don't believe you. You're sandbagging.Peppers has become overrated.
3rd or 4th best safety prospect in this class.

I honestly think he needs to play CB and stay there early on. He gets compared to the wrong AZ Cardinal DB IMO. I bet his workouts are about identical to P. Peterson. The only reason he didn't play CB exclusively is because of Jourdan Lewis and Channing Stribling. Two guys who will play CB in the NFL. He could play S, but he will be a better corner. At least early on. If he's there at 24? Fuck yeah take him.
How he translates to the NFL is all that matters.
As a safety prospect he's a 2nd round guy. Maybe late first.
Playing offense and LB in college doesn't change that. He won't be doing that shit anyways.
@007 .... Wahtcha talkin' bout Wilis?How he translates to the NFL is all that matters.

I see many similarities to the kid from UCLA Myles Jack that the Jags drafted.
I am late getting into draft mode so I'll try to find more on him soon. As far as the Buchanon/Jack/Shaq Thompson comparisons those are on the right page...And they were drafted in the proper area at 20-35. There was never this type of hype.
I want to see his hips, his speed, how he covers a TE, ball skills and how he tracks passes in the air. Relevant Safety skills.
RB and return highlights mean shit all. I doubt he does it in the show anyways.

Well, that's the point. Jacksonville can't find a position for Jack.
I think he will check all those boxes.
And he def passes the eyeball test when watching the #1 ranked defense. He was the leader on the field and off.
If he is being mentioned as being around at our pick, I think its fair to assume he could play ST's or offense. Much like Charles Woodson from Michigan
I wasn't gonna bring that name up, because its unfair to Peppers haha
But he is a playmaker with the ball in his hands. He also shows that he can catch etc. I cant really explain the low INT #s, maybe since he switched to LB this year? But I know he can catch and make plays with the ball in his hands, so he should be a better pro in that dept.
Again, the lack of INT and PD's is noticeable and worth concern. But watching him play kinda makes you a believer. I also would agree the hype is overblown. He was a top 3 prospect and the hype never went away going to a Harbaugh led Michigan #1 defense. He also runs his mouth to Ohio State fans on twitter etc. So Im biased and love the guy obviously haha
But Lewis, Butt and Peppers are all NFL guys. Not sure where they get drafted, but I expect to quote this posts 5 years from now and see them all still int he NFL doing good things. Taco Carlton and Worlmey have some skills too. Michigan was a good team this year on D.
This draft is stacked with DBs also. Holy cow.

Size wise, he projects to a good sized DB. He coverage skills seem questionable.
I just don't like drafting guys where you have to guess which position they're going to play at the next level. More often than not, it doesn't work out. Jacksonville moved Myles Jack all over the field this year trying to find a spot for him and it never really worked out. I'm not saying he's a for sure bust but I don't want to spend a first round pick trying to find out.
Desmond King is another prospect who gets the Tron stamp of truthiness. He will be balling on sundays too!
Marlin Jackson! Thats a name I haven't heard in awhile. He was a nasty hitter. I used to love that circle smash celebration he did after hitting people. He got injured or something right? Career ended early.
Scary to think how many good players Michigan had on D. Gonna be rough next season replacing that. At the same time, they couldn't stop the QB scramble for the millionth year in a row. The major reason Ohio State beats Michigan every year these days… Urban Meyers slippery QB offense... I digress.
I also think Michigan will have a few other players drafted. The WR's might have a career in football. And a few of the no name LBs who stepped up this year will play STs in the NFL.
