The Saints solved one major riddle on defense with their earlier pick of linebacker Reuben Foster. He can play any of the interior linebacker positions. Now comes the part of adding someone within the secondary.

Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers is a versatile tool. He can also play linebacker, but his skill set is probably best used at safety.

The one problem with Peppers, and being a “jack of all trades,” is he’s not particularly excellent at any one thing. He just happens to be good at a lot.
