Sure, it might take a year or two to temper him into a modern professional, but the rewards could be off the chart, as is his football IQ. Many of us have all agreed that Reggie Nelson's loss was a huge impact on the defense. Why not bring in that sort of leader?
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.
