Finally someone knows what they are talking about. Peppers above Adams and Hooker.

The CB rankings are exactly like I would have them too.

Mayock is way ahead of the rest.

Hooker is probably going to tumble from where he has been considered. Not many teams are going to take a safety in the top 10, much less an injured one who has only one year of starting under his belt.

I would GLADLY take Hooker at 28 if hes there

Let him fall.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Mannnnn lmao at Hooker falling to us. I'd disown Dallas for passing on him

 

[stilltheguru88]

Budda baker isn't a slot player. Smh

 

[Tristan]

Love peppers!

but no way I take him over hooker, havent seen ball skills like that since deon sanders and ed reed. Him and garrett are the two guys Id support trading up for.

 

[Gaede]

He will fall, for sure.

I haven't put any time into watching him, but his slight body type will likely scare teams away. Probably not too far, but Adams will go ahead of him. Not sure about Peppers though

 

[visionary]

Run to the podium for Hooker, Barnett or Thomas at 28

 

[gmoney112]

I don't understand how you can have Peppers over Hooker and Adams at safety.

Feels to me like that's a "pet cat" homered out ranking.

Possible picks at 28 are Barnett, Humphrey, King, Conley, Moreau, Baker, Awuzie, and Peppers. I'd also put Harris, Willis, Ross, Mcaffrey, and Lamp in there as well.

Those safety rankings are crazy. Peppers isn't as good as Adams or Hooker. Good player and all but come on.

He could be. We will have to see how it plays out. A lot of the time players that are taken later are better because they have a chip on their shoulder and play harder.

 

[Hardline]

Peppers over Adams and Hooker?
Not in this reality.

The more that I think about it, the more that I like Peppers. The Cowboys are picking in a good spot to get him too. I like his hustle and his attitude. He is going to play with a chip on his shoulder and he is a good return man too. I also saw Tak interviewed on NFL network. I like him as well. I'm just concerned with the shoulder. If he passes the medicals he is going to play with a motor as well and he could be the pass rusher that they need and that would be awesome. He could join the kid from Nebraska that they drafted last year and Tapper on the other side and Jaylon Smith. All of a sudden they have a defense that puts pressure on the qb.

 

[Risen Star]

I see he added a thpethial extheptionth list.

 

[Setackin]

Peppers really seems like the player Roy Williams was supposed to be... big time hitter, with speed and attitude to go with it. I'm starting to wonder if his lack of INTs was because he played so close to the line. His play recognition is great, so unless he has hands like bricks he would probably lead the team.
