I tend to agree. If they're really leaning on analytics, they'll avoid this turd like the plague.

It is, actually.
It's just that one has to possess special hearing abilities. You know, the way some sounds aren't audible to ordinary humans, but they are to dogs...

Daniel Jeremiah's top 50 prospects for 2017 NFL Draft
#33- JabriLLL Peppers
Peppers has played cornerback, safety, linebacker, running back and quarterback during his time in Ann Arbor, and is an incredibly tough evaluation. He has outstanding athleticism, but didn't look comfortable playing linebacker in 2016, lacking the size to hold up at that spot in the NFL. I think he's best suited to play strong safety. As a run defender, he relies on his quickness to burst through gaps and find the ball carrier. Once engaged by blockers, he really struggled. He needs to be clean to be effective. In pass coverage, he has plenty of speed and agility to mirror tight ends, and he is a dynamic blitzer. His instincts and ball production are both average. He is a very explosive punt returner, and is both elusive and instinctive as a runner on offense. Overall, Peppers is a better athlete than football player right now, but he has tremendous upside as a strong safety.

I heard a draft expert today saying he needs to play the Polamalu role, but was sure he would go in the top 10....

I just don't see how any NFL team can spend a first round pick on him. He should play SS in the league and he hardly played that position last season.
It was really his only play to go to the draft because his stock will never be higher, but he never came across as a 1st rounder in my opinion.
Hope he gets drafted high and has a solid pro career, but his college career left a lot to be desired.

"He's pretty much what we thought he was when we were recruiting him; a pretty good return man."
