The Buffalo Bills turned things around in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals, but the defense still has some question marks. Tyrod Taylor and the rest of the Bills offense showed that they can put points on the board against the Jets and Cardinals, but that defense is so banged up that they can struggle to slow their opponents down.

Fortunately, Marcell Dareus will be returning soon while rookies like Reggie Ragland and Shaq Lawson are expected to return in 2017. The talent will be there next season, but the Bills could still use some help in their secondary.

Rex Ryan has probably already fallen in love with Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers. The Wolverines player is the most versatile athlete in college football, playing safety, linebacker, corner, returner and can even make some plays on offense.

The Ryan brothers could use Peppers in all kinds of ways due to his elite athleticism, instincts and nose for the ball. By adding Peppers and getting a healthy defense, the Bills could be back to making noise in 2017.
