Who are the play-making defensive backs in this year's draft?

[Sydla]

The knock on Peppers was that he was a hybrid player and the issue is what position do you play him at?

He does have athleticism and football ability but he is below average in coverage which is problematic for a S in todays game!

He is too small to play LB at 215 and would be eaten up by blocks.

Brugler was saying on the Draft show that some coaches may look at him as a RB.

And yet Brugler has him ranked 32nd on his board right now. So the Cowboys thinking he's the 28th best player and worthy of the 28th pick isn't exactly some tragedy here even using Brugler's logic.

Like Brugler said, a team would have to have a plan in place for Peppers, what position is he going to play?

If he is to be a S, his coverage is a liability and he may be too small to play LB.

I think Brugler is ranking him on his athleticism as a football player because even he does not know where to play him in the NFL.

He thinks if you have a plan for him and leave him in one spot, he may flourish but his flaws are evident.

He's more than fine in coverage as a SS, especially as we use ours.

Some team is going to hit a HR with Peppers in this draft if he slides.

He may be if someone finds him a home that fits, only time will tell.

Sidney jones. Kids can play

Rasul Douglas CB West Virginia 8 INTs in 2016 led the nation.

Rodeshawn Joseph CB Virginia Union in 2015 10 INTs,30 PBUs,95 tackles.

Donald Payne S Stetson has over 500 career tackles

Big Rasul Douglas fan! Definitely one of my pet cats. Rodeshawn Joseph has some eye popping production. A couple of other secondary playmakers, not as well known:

CB Brendan Langley, Lamar (TX), 6-1 195 4.40
*6 INTs and 2 returns for TD in 2016
CB Ezra Robinson, Tennessee St., 6-0 180 4.48
*5 INTs (2 TDs), 1 FR
CB Jeremy Cutrer, Middle Tennessee, 6-1 170 4.49
*3 INTs, 57 TKL, 4 TFL, 1 FF, 1 FR, 2 blocked kicks
S Weston Steelhammer, Air Force, 6-1 190 4.59
* 3X All Mountain West First Team, 75 TKL, 4.5 TFL, 1 sack, 6 INTs
S/OLB Josh Harvey-Clemons, Louisville, 6-4 228 4.59
*65 TKL, 5.5 TFL, 1 sack, 2 FF in 2014; 80 TKL, 2 INTs in 2015; 65 TKL, 2 sacks, 3 INTs in 2016
S Obi Melifonwu, Connecticut, 6-3 216 4.58
*118 TKL, 4 INTs

No mention of Desmond King who has 17 INT's the past 3 years? People are going to knock him because he's not 6'+ and doesn't run a 4.4 40 but the kid can flat out ball. If he really falls to the 2nd/3rd I think he'd be a steal.

He's also being projected to FS, so not only short but speed on outside is suspect. Although he's the perfect zone corner IMO. Likes contact.

Steelhammer is an intriguing guy to me.

Steelhammer is an intriguing guy to me.

Ton of interesting DBs in this draft. Very deep draft class.

I think Cam Sutton from TN in the 4th would be a good pick. After we address pass rush in first three rounds.
