Safety. Michigan. Jabrill Peppers. 19. player. 48.

The up-and-coming Tampa Bay Buccaneers could use some help at the very end of their defensive backfield, as well as various points within the linebacker corps. So taking a shot at Michigan safety Jabrill Peppers in the NFL Draft makes sense.

Peppers can play at safety, inside or outside linebacker, which gives the Bucs plenty of flexibility in building their defense in coming seasons.

The only problem is Peppers isn’t exactly a standout at any one of those positions. Yet he’s still a playmaker and good enough to handle those positions at the pro level.
