Yep, I jump all over that in the 2nd round.
Where does he play? I do believe he could play as a safety. Sure, he was a jack of all trades but he didn't put up many career turnovers. However, he was always around the ball and made plays.
I believe he could play safety or outside linebacker.
I know people are comparing him to Taylor Mays, but I just don't see it. Mainly because I never saw Mays as being a OLB type and mainly just a safety. We tried to make him into something he's not. Mays was just a bust all the way around. I was never huge on Mays either. He wasn't a good prospect overall. I remember him just being bad in coverage and always wanting to make a hit rather than covering. He was a speed freak and had measureables. But no ball skills whatsoever.
Peppers showed the ability to cover using different techniques. He played man, zone, press. Granted, he's the best in zone coverage and a little stiff in man. Can run sideline to sideline. Peppers isn't the greatest prospects by any means, there's some question marks with him.
But Peppers > Mays.
And I give him a shot in round 2.
