JabriLLL "Ghost" Peppers (New England Patriots)

Remember when he was the #1 CB prospect in his recruiting class for his "coverage ability"?

"He runs fast and Michigan played him at a lot of positions" - the pundits "positive takes"
NFLNetwork can't say how he energizes the defense enough.

You know how I know this isn't a good pick? Nobody can actually talk about his production. David Shaw on NFLN talked about how many flips he did when he went to recruit him. I just don't get it.

He was the #1 CB coming out of high school

His coverage skills, in college mind you, quickly got him moved from CB to Safety
His coverage skills, still just in college, then saw him moved from Safety to LB
He did not get appreciably larger while in college

I am not making any of that up because I am an OSU fan and hate Peppers. That should be obvious to anyone who pops in the tape.

So, Browns FO, you just used a first round pick on a guy that posses Safety size and LB coverage skills.

Stop me if you've heard this before but you are doing it wrong

From ForTheWin (USAToday Sports):

25. Jabrill Peppers, S Michigan — Cleveland Browns (from Texans)
GRADE: A-
Analysis: Peppers is going to do it all for a Browns defense that needed to add talent in this draft. He can set the edge against the run, cover slot receivers and he’ll make an impact as a blitzer in Gregg Williams’ defense.

Their evidence for all this greatness? A tweet from an assistant high school football coach (no offense to @osugrad21) in Michigan who also thinks that Taco Charlton was the best DE prospect in the draft. I shit you not - here is the Peppers tweet embedded in the article:



This is exactly how hype reaches insanity level.

Clowns traded down to get this asshat when they could have just taken Malik Hooker at 12. Fucking idiots.

Yes, well, that's the raw tank of gasoline on the fire here (the pile of wood is aggies size because is from Michigan). If they had just taken Peppers with no connection to Hooker (if he were off the board or whatever), it would just be, "Oh, look, the Browns are fucking morons and traded down to the 20's again and wasted a pick"

Went to bed at 8:30, up at 3:00 laughing at the Browns. I'd like to know the inside reasons for this pick. I don't even like professional football or the Browns. Low character, low intellect guy, that isn't good at football. Tremendous athlete? What's the thought process here?
Skipping the charade and just drafting a guy who is already a bust BEFORE he signs a contract.
