[Whatever]

Not having a natural position fit, he has a very high bust risk.  We already have two thumpers at S with Iloka and Williams, and if we were to look at a S that high, it would have to be a guy with elite ball skills, which Peppers sorely lacks.

Garrett or Allen would be huge gets for our DL, but if both are gone, I think there are much better options than Peppers.

Mike Williams would immediately give us one of the best WR tandems, and would open up a ton of space underneath for Eifert and Boyd.  

You don't like going RB this high, but Leonard Fournette is a monster.  Plus Gio will be coming off a major knee injury, Hill will be a FA after next year, and both Burkhead and Peerman are UFA's this year.

Although we're sick to death of 1st round CB's, if Dre leaves, Marlon Humphry would be a great get.

Although either will likely be a bit of a reach, Reuben Foster or Zach Cunningham would provide a desperately needed talent infusion to the LB corps.
