...overthinking it.

Seattle will not pass. I highly doubt he gets that far. Lions might take him at #21 if still on board (fingers crossed). I still believe once he tests out he will go in the top 12.

Still better than the Browns. People have have gone to extremes to not get drafted by the Browns.
February 12th, 2017 at 1:18 PM ^
....and have have gone to extremes even when drafted by the Browns.

The only concern I see with the NFL testing is his height, unlike Lewis he will probably be shorter than everyone expects.

Either you have a whole lot of straws in your quiver or you haven't been a Lions fan for very long. #SOL

I have zero faith that the Lions would utilize him properly.
February 12th, 2017 at 11:27 AM ^
The Lions do have a long history of utilizing players in such a way that even the brightest prospects end up looking average, although this is a dynamic problem - less than good team, less than good coaching, less than aware of actual needs, etc...
In the unlikely event that Peppers fell to the Lions, I would be excited to see him on the NFL franchise I cheer for but also hoping against hope that even they couldn't possibly screw this up.

That's a lot of guessing for mid-first round pick.

Depends on how many teams will value talent over positional need in the first round. Peppers is a freak athlete and definitely usable all over the field but he has no true position yet. That scares away more teams, mainly because teams want a for sure starter with that first pick. If a team falls in love with him and has a clear plan in mind for him then he could go. but if a team sees him as a safety; they may pass on him for a safety with less raw ability, but more experience playing the position.
February 12th, 2017 at 9:45 AM ^
But,I doubt...
February 12th, 2017 at 9:45 AM ^
No...NFL teams put WAY too much emphasis on the Scouting Combine...An arena where he will be off of the charts...add Coach Harbaugh's opinion, and he will be gone by pick 20

February 12th, 2017 at 9:47 AM ^
it is a foregone conclusion that he will be a round 2 pick
Great talent - Just a tweener and that does not bode well for NFL
IMO he should have stayed another year
Good Luck to him
February 12th, 2017 at 9:53 AM ^
he would drop out of the first round.
my sources say he would be eligible to be drafted in later rounds.
apparently other players enter the nfl as free agents and are not drafted in any of the 6 rounds.

Negged for Freep clickbait article. Sorry.

Because the link shares other opinions that validate the initial point.

Jabrill. Where careers go to perish.
My advice? Pull an Eli Manning and go somewhere else. You have too much potential to waste away in the honolulu blue and silver, minus the black accents now.

Oh stop. Those days of the Lions are over. Sure, we're likely not winning a Super Bowl any time soon but the Lions are no worse than about 2/3 of the league. Many guys have been drafted by the Lions and had good careers here, others have come for a few years and showed up elsewhere to still have success. I know it's super popular and funny to take on the "Hur hur the Lions suck" schtick but it's no longer funny nor true.

If true, Ted Thompson needs to snag him for Green Bay. Shore up that secondary and they're back on the short list of Super Bowl favorites.

You could see another beloved Michigan Man raise a Lombardi trophy a la Woodson, or watch his career frustratingly grind on in futility for the better part of a decade.

According to Green Bay fans, yes.
