Eagles mock draft roundup: Jabrill Peppers to the Eagles?
11 February 2017 DRAFT Eagles News
In a new mock draft by Steve Silverman of Bleacher Report. com, the Eagles land safety Jabrill Peppers with the 15th pick. Peppers is an interesting player for sure. At Michigan he did it all, he was a swiss army knife.
What would he bring to the Eagles? At Michigan he was used as a safety, cornerback, linebacker, running back and return specialist. Currently, the Eagles do have two very solid safeties in Rodney McLeod and Malcolm Jenkins. However, Peppers would allow Jenkins to almost become just a slot corner. They could certainly mix things up with Peppers in the mix. Peppers is best used in the Kam Chancellor-like role, where he is used more as a linebacker.
This is the most recent mock draft by the experts, here is what the others have been saying.
