19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: S/LB Jabrill Peppers, Michigan

One of the more interesting players in the 2017 NFL Draft class is Jabrill Peppers. A do-it-all player in college, there are some serious questions about whether or not he figures to be a safety or a linebacker in the NFL. He comes in the mold of Deone Bucannon and Su’a Cravens, and he could end up being a high level player. Our own Joshua Landis had the following to say about Peppers’ accomplishments and skills for the NFL.

Peppers is arguably the most athletic and explosive player in the 2017 NFL draft class. His instincts and closing speed make him a dangerous defensive player. Peppers has played practically every position at Michigan from linebacker, cornerback, safety, punt returner, kick returner, running back, and the list goes on. His versatility and athleticism are in a class of its own. Peppers collegiate awards are impressive. For the 2016 season as a junior he was named to the All-American team, he was a Heisman Award finalist, the Big 10 defensive player of the year, Big 10 linebacker of the year, and Big 10 return specialist of the year.

All of Peppers’ accomplishments are great, but because he is a bit of a positional tweener, he is going to fall in the draft. In this case, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are where he ends up. The team desperately needs some help at the safety position, but they could also use some linebacker depth. In the worse case scenario, Peppers could be a backup at either position. Still, given his skill set it would be no surprise to see him starting at the safety position in Week 1 if he goes to the Bucs.
