Official 2017 NFL draft thread

What kind of defense could we play if we draft Jabrill peppers?

3 safeties on the field, 2 of which can play up at the line and stop the run

It would be a smaller lineup, but a better one at coverage and maybe stoping the run over bevis and butthead and just 2 safeties

Isn't Peppers a safety? Can he play corner? I'll be rather shocked if he lasts until #29 so Ted might have to move up substantially to take him.

Monty avg. 5.9 and had 6 more carries. He also had 5 more first downs. He also caught 44 passes to eddies awe inspiring .... wait for it .... 4! He beat Lacy in every offensive category except nose hairs.

He did? 5.9? I didn't know that. Ty does have to work on picking up the blitz, tho.

I could very well be mistaken here, but I always viewed Jabrill as a better, faster version of Hyde. I liked Hyde, and thought he was solid, but too many times I watched him trail the opposing reciever going across the middle. With everybody wanting team speed to improve, I'm a lil shocked at the responses from this forum over the loss of Hyde. Again I thought he was a solid Green Packer, and I'm always sorry to see them leave, but I'm excited by the speed of the crop of CBs coming out this year.

Agreed. He was late a couple times, made a bad read a couple of times (remember those delayed A gap blitzes that kept working?) and wasn't squared up with his guy a couple of times.

But he's smart, young, and conscientious. I think he'll figure it out.

All true, but Monty felt more like feast or famine, whereas Lacy was pretty consistent in his yardage <insert "just feast" joke here>. Am I misremembering?

True true. Damn the luck GB has had with losing young talent to neck injuries. Fin and Nick, Franklin and a promising WR from awhile back off the top of my head. Damn shame.

he was pretty damn good last year for a plug-in...hell...he was pretty damn good period. like mm said...it depends "on his availability." if he stays healthy and comes to camp in rb shape he could have a very good year. hope he put on some muscle weight over the winter.

lol...lacy was pretty good. feast or famine for monty is harsh though. what running back doesn't get stuffed once in a while?

I have a sneaking hunch that Peppers could well be available at our pick. And if so, it might go a long way toward addressing the billion times receivers have crossed the middle uncovered.

Scheme as much as personnel. Steelers get hit in the middle just as often.

Peppers is a SS/LB. He does not have the coverage skills to play corner.

Seattle is going from Beast Mode, to Beast A La Mode.

Beast Mode to Obese Mode...

Just watched some Joe Mixon tape. He's a beast.

Read some chick was slapping him and he punched her in the face. Whatever. She wants to hit she better be ready to get hit. That's karma.

[Joemailman]

I wouldn't rule Mixon out based just on that incident. I think you have to look into his background and see if he's just a real jerk, or if he's a guy who had a bad reaction in an adversarial situation. Of course, you might have to look into whether he's a guy prone to bad reactions in adversarial situations. What he did though appears to be a bad reaction, not a premeditated decision to punch a woman in the face.

Cook has the long list, Mixon has the one other incident where he went Randy Moss on a parking attendant.

heres her side of the story, before she slapped him

"When I said I would never in a million years go anywhere with you, he goes, 'Oh, so you'd rather go home with that f---ing f----t?'" Molitor said in the police interview. "I got really mad, so I faced Joe and was like, 'Don't f--- with me. Do not mess with my friend. Just stop. Go away.' And he was like, 'Oh, you're a bad b----, what are you going to do about it?'"

he also says that she was yelling a bunch of racial slurs at him, but in the video you notice that there are many other black people in the diner, and none of them are acting like shes using slurs at him

and this all goes back to what started this all. she wouldn't fuck him, and he wouldn't take no for an answer

Oh look this moron again. The guy that claimed sexual assault (i.e. a man forcing his genitals on to another woman's face) is acceptable, and just part of life for a woman in college.
A tiny blond girl slapped him in the neck after he was aggressively in her face and trying to spit game at her. Then he cold cocked her with a right hook. Shoving her or restraining her is one thing but there is no excuse for what he did. Glad he has degenerate internet warriors standing up for him though.
