Jabrill Peppers?

AcidTest : 4/27/2017 5:26 pm
What do you think of Peppers at #23, or after a trade down? I can easily see it. He's the swiss army knife. Excellent combine. 4.46 40. Great range. Versatile, which is what the Giants want. PR. Team player. They apparently aren't worried about the diluted sample, which they shouldn't be. I'd be fine with Peppers at #23, and would love it after a trade down.


Peppers at #23? - ( New Window )
He's be a great tool for Spags.

So I'd be fine with it.

But I don't think we're looking for him.

OL, DL, RB, OJ, impact LB.
I'd be surprised  
RAIN : 4/27/2017 5:32 pm : link
But we don't have he courage to trade down, so I shouldn't be surprised. My big critique of this front office.
IMO, he's not a first round safety

This front office never makes a bold like other clubs to get that impact player. I realize we're just fans but there are many knowledgeable ones here who just throw up their arms

Yeah, we never make that bold move. LIke trading up to get the first pick in the 2nd round to draft Landon Collins. We NEVER do stuff like that!!!!

Pretty sure they just did it two years ago.. but don't let that get in the way of your bullshit narrative.
I'd love it

He'd make an impact somewhere.
A trade down requires courage?

Wha?

BleedBlue : 4/27/2017 5:50 pm : link
im happy with him too. he is a guy that needs to go to a defense that has positions locked down. he needs to be able to come on the field in situations where he can just play and use his athleticism. i personally would LOVE to see him and collins keeping zeke inside!

YANKEE28 : 4/27/2017 6:09 pm : link
is perhaps the best high school athlete I have ever seen. He spent two years at Don Bosco. The team won the State Championship both years. He transferred to Paramus Catholic. The team won the State Championship both years. 4 years in high school- 4 straight State Championships.

Every win was on Peppers shoulders. Teams like Don Bosco and Paramus Catholic play the very best teams in NJ, and also get on planes and travel to play the the best high school teams in America. Peppers dominated everywhere.

Peppers was amazing in track as well. I saw him win the State Championship as a Junior in both the 100 M and 200 M.

At Michigan, he was Freshman of the Year, and nationally the Sophomore of the Year.

People worry about his position, but adding his skills to your roster should be every coaches dream.

Peppers to the Giants? This Giants fan would love it.
If he is going to play safety, he has to grade out higher than  
732NYG : 4/27/2017 6:16 pm : link
the other safeties that will be available where we draft, and I don't think that will be the case. Sure, he's a fantastic athlete, but I don't think he's going to make the impact on defense that you need out of a high pick like that. Return kicks? I guess? I'm not a huge fan, and I think that he will slide tonight.
Great. Another Peppers thread. Most over rated  
LauderdaleMatty : 4/27/2017 6:18 pm : link
Players the draft. Can we call him Manti Te'o redux. His best played as a player were never on defense. People here hate when Reese drafts on projection but since he's anNI kid and Mich pimped him like he was Charles Woodson people now want him.

He's the 3 Rd S if he was here. No thanks. If he wasn't from NJ no one here would want him. And to compare he's not half the player Will Hill was.
Giants apparently like him in range of their pick

People say he can't cover  
MotownGIANTS : 4/27/2017 8:17 pm : link
But that is untrue .... he was never asked to do any one thing from year to year so in that we can all agree he has the athletic skill and football IQ to get it done. He is a football player! He just needs to be settle into a spot.

Now in regards to his cover skills what is his 3-cone? His 40 is not bad elite no. Bad no. So with that he can cover TEs an RBs. You play him at FS or nickle DB we know he can blitz as well as set the edge.

Now add in the VALUE in the CAP ERA .... DB KR PR and spy on running QBs...

@ 23 excellent pick
People say he can't

Cover because he can't
My impression is that  
RAIN : 4/27/2017 8:50 pm : link
the giants fall in love with players and they don't truly go with their board as they say, and try and get multiple players at the top of the draft.

If you, every draft, don't trade down... and not get Conklin, and not get Floyd, and not get target after leaked target, then your also saying that your value board says there's a huge gap in talent after you pick. This has happened in many drafts.. and I believe they don't capitalize in making numbers work with many players of similar value.

Um find me the link w 10 picks? In HS? Or Pop Warner? LOL ok He's Woodson all over again. You've convinced me

Again Most over rated player in the draft and Manti Te'o Great athlete. Meh player His stats say it His film says it. No more Marvin Austin's for me.
That was a typo  
MotownGIANTS : 4/27/2017 10:11 pm : link
PDs ....

Still show me the blown plays and coverage there should film of it since he sucked in coverage

Well somehow all the teams including the Giants now keep passing on this reincarnation of Woodson. If he's such a stud why is he still sitting waiting on his name.

If he could cover why didn't he play CB? Nope Moved to S. Pedestrian at S moved to LB. top tier coverage guys aren't moved. 10 passes defended is some huge stat? Maybe Who were they against Western Mich or Ohio St. kid has 4.4 speed and can't play CB or FS and you are touting his coverage?

He's projected as a SS and he barely played there. He may go onto a great NFL career but his greatest players were w the ball in his hands.
Well now he's screwed  
LauderdaleMatty : 4/27/2017 11:04 pm : link
Cleveland picking him pretty much dooms him.

You can abuse me when he becomes a pro-bowler. Which he may but I have my doubts
Jabril Peppers' career just ended.
