Wellll...not entirely. Let's not forget the great Ryan(s) experiment which I believe was the root cause for both the poor defensive play as well as the lack of discipline as a whole...

Not an exciting pick but solid...Area of need....I'm ok with it when the trade was Lattimore agaisnt him a third and a #1 next year. I hope KC has a tough year!

Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina Height: 6-1. Weight: 202. Arm: 32.25. Hand 9. 40 Time: 4.45. Projected Round (2017): 2-3. 4/25/17: At the combine, Jones continued his tremendous offseason with a fast 40 time and an impressive showing in the field drills. He has an outside chance of cracking the first night of the 2017 NFL Draft and is a lock to go on the second day. Jones had video game-like production playing in a college offense that inflates numbers. As a senior, he totaled 158 receptions for 1,746 yards with eight touchdowns. Jones had other quality production as a junior (98-1,099-5), sophomore (81-830-5) and freshman (62-604-5). Jones set an NCAA record for receptions, breaking the total previously held by former teammate Justin Hardy. Jones was phenomenal at the Senior Bowl and really helped his draft stock. He showed a quick burst off the line with the speed to get separation. Jones also ran good routes with excellent hands and showed a knack for getting away from the secondary late. He plays bigger than his listed numbers and has functional size for the NFL. Some team sources have said they graded Jones in the third round. Definitely a need but seems like a reach...

Why Jones?

Who would you take Joe?

Damn - oh well... you were right..

Peppers had a good 2016 season for Michigan with 72 tackles, 16 for a loss, four sacks and one forced fumble. He was phenomenal on punt returns. Peppers also contributed on offense with 17 carries for 150 yards and three touchdowns. The media has been busy overhyping Peppers to a degree. In speaking to NFL evaluators, they think Peppers is a great athlete who has some deficiencies in pass coverage. That is evidenced by his one interception during his entire career. Sources say they are projecting Peppers to be a hybrid dime linebacker and safety, similar to Arizona's Deone Bucannon. Peppers could go in the middle to late portion of the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, but slipping to Round 2 is possible. 8/20/16: Some scouts tell WalterFootball.com that their early impression of Peppers is that he is a better athlete than Jalen Ramsey, the fifth-overall pick to the Jaguars in the 2016 NFL Draft. Peppers mainly played strong safety for Michigan in 2015, totaling 45 tackles with 10 passes broken up. On offense, he was a gadget player with 18 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown. Peppers also had eight receptions for 79 yards. He averaged 11.4 yards per punt return as well. I feel that Peppers, as a defensive back, is a better fit as a safety than a corner. He has some instincts and is quick to diagnosis rushing plays. Peppers is also a physical tackler and doesn't hesitate to run into the scrum to make a tackle. In pass coverage, he has played a variety of techniques. Peppers has played some press-man cornerback on the outside, some off-man coverage over slot receivers, some off-man coverage against tight ends, and some zone coverage in the middle of the field. Michigan hasn't lined him up deep as a free safety, however. As a press-man corner, Peppers has the skills to battle big possession receivers. He looks a little slow to react in off-man coverage to flip his hips and run, so he can be caught flat-footed. There have been times when slot receivers and tight ends achieved some separation because of that. I think Peppers is more of a safety for the NFL as well. With some development, I think he could be a nice weapon to be a strong safety who also contributes to playing man coverage against pass-receiving tight ends. Peppers is a good tackler and willing run defender, so playing in or around the tackle box shouldn't be a problem for him. Read more at http://walterfootball.com/draft2017S.php#5KXvb6TIrwKVACH3.99

Gotta fill need and Foster is MLB not OLB ..... So can Ragland play MLB??

Well, we are much closer to agreeing than from your previous post...But Pegs isn't the problem. If you want crucify Whaley, I'll bring the nails. I'm not sure he is very involved in today's draft. We didn't trade up for a CB or other deep position and give away an extra @@@ING #1 pick. Instead we got an extra one next year...Nice change in my opinion...

I was thinking the same... Let's see...

Ok - I am the fool, but why are you still on this board Joe? Chill - trading down was to get a #1 next year. We have yet to pick and there are good players that fill areas of need still available. We also got a 3rd. Depends who we pick...

The past is the past...Build for the future...Drinking helps..

not done yet and we have an extra #1 next year too - patience....

Tyrod doesn't throw to TEs even when they are wide open over the middle....

patience.....

For real - I gotta be up at 5:30...

Jimmy did well trading Hershel Walker for a boat load of picks

yuuuup!

With so many holes including safety, WR, OLB, CB, I just as soon see u trade down by 5 slots or so and still get a solid #1 and extra mid picks this and next year...

Match the Pats offer and then try and make a trade for a better pick than a 5th either with Pats or someone else. A RB hungry team may cough up a third after seeing the Pats think so highly of him.

No hate here! Love them Pegulas! Now Whaley may be another matter.....
