Quote:Haven't seen a convincing argument yet for Peppers being a top 10 talent in this draft.

I'm not saying he is. Because I've seen 2 Michigan games this season and that is the extent of my Peppers knowledge.

 

However...

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">And there's no reason for the Michigan star to complain about this, either: An NFC personnel executive has projected him as a top-five draft choice and compared him to former Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu.

"He's a top five pick in my mind," the executive told NJ.com. "He's unbelievable. He's the most versatile player I've ever scouted. He does it all for (Michigan). I think at our level, he's a safety, he reminds me of Troy Polamalu. I don't think I'd use him on offense. He could be a good return man for you, though. What he is, is just a phenomenal athlete. But he's more than that, because he's tough and he's smart, too."

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">"He's better than Jalen Ramsey, so there's that," the scout said. "He's a safety, but you can match him up if you want. He can take on the better tight ends, Jordan Reed man to man. You can put him in the slot. You can blitz him, play him deep. He's going to be a difference maker for a defense.''
