Yep. I have to wonder if the Cowboys wouldn't stop him from sliding to the 2nd round.

If he's there, I would pick him. I don't think he will be though.

Be nice to actually have some talent back there, especially when Bryon is on the TE.

That makes him a good candidate at pick 28.

Just not explosive enough.

We need a guy with more "twitch" if we're going to sack Manning, Rogers, Wilson or Ryan this year.

Michigan DB connection with Jackson might help. Plus a huge upgrade on specials.

Yeah his return ability is what I'm really thinking about also.

If there, I would pick him, just don't think he will be. Someone will fall in love with him during interviews.

He was. Ran a 4.8 something with a little bit better 1.65 10 yard split. Looked real good in space tho, his change of direction ability is great.
He is going to get downgraded because teams fear his ability to run stop. In our division, I don't care. Nobody is a threat to suddenly turn into a run first team.

I know the rub on Peppers is no defined position. but his got quicks a 4.46 forty.
His smart and versatile as you'd what. He'll pick up coverage IMO.
I like the idea of him in the box with JSmith in the middle and MCollins bringing the heat.

Marinelli could get real creative with that talent.

Of course we'd still need strength and rush but that could be added.
I wouldn't mind if a WR just taken in the 2nd. Like Zoe Jones if his there.
3rd and forth hopefully the players fall to us for D/line help.

Don't even have to think that hard.

Put him next to Byron Jones along side your choice of Church/Wilcox on early downs and let him kill teams in the return game otherwise.

Well I would take him, just don't think he will be there. We would finally have some safeties that can actually play.

And in the return game, he's just special......no fear.

Thanks.

Almost as bad as a punter is more valuable than a CB.


I wasn't talking permanently, I meant situational. His weight is up to 311 now.

Collins is a one gap penetrating DT who struggles to keep his feet. He's the exact opposite of what you want in a 1 tech.

Horrific idea. Shows how little you know the game.

Yeah I'm all in on Peppers.

I'm not even worried about whether he's there at 28 since we'll have higher picks too. #ThanksTony

Doubt that trade happens before the draft but you never know.

Peppers is the kinda splash Jerry would like to make, if he's there he's probably a Cowboy.
