If they are special why are they available at 28? Lefit question
The three special players that have a shot at being available at 28 are
1. Tim Williams - He is exactly what we need. A pass rushing demon with quick twitch ability, acceleration off the snap, multiple pass rush moves, relentless drive and surprising strength. He could be the best pass rusher in this draft.
The reason he may be there at 28 is he is risky. He could be Randy Gregory. Maybe worse. He could also be Demarcus Ware.
2. Jabrill Peppers - He really only played one year of college ball but he was already the most versatile player in the NCAA. Amazing closing speed, surprisingly hard hitter for his size. Dangerous with the ball in his hands. Could be a defensive starter, kick returner and offensive threat all rolled into one. When you watch tape of him it is as if everyone else is moving in slow motion and he is so quick and decisive.
The reason he may be there at 28 is he is too small to play LB and he is unproven at safety. I think he will end up being one of the best safety's in the league and offer so much more but it is based on projection.
3. John Ross - Absolute burner that can stretch the field. Dangerous with the ball in his hands. Can get separation on deep balls and also can take a quick slant to the house. Could be the added dimension our offense lacks. One that makes every other threat that much more dangerous.
The reason he might be there at 28. He had a serious knee injury. He also had recent shoulder surgery. He isn't ideal size. Most of his production came in one year. Combine that with a deep WR class and there is a shot he could be there at 28.
These are the 3 elite talents I have identified that could possibly be there at 28. I am still looking for more. There are 2 others that I think have a shot that I am looking at.
