Michigan. Jabrill Peppers. 7. player. 59. . S

Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers is the kind of prospect that could go even earlier than No. 7 overall. While the Jacksonville Jaguars could have considered him earlier, the Miami Dolphins are the next logical fit.

Peppers is easily the most versatile player in this draft class. He can play safety, cornerback, linebacker, return kicks and punts or even line up on offense. He’s an absolutely ridiculous athlete with elite instincts and a nose for the ball.

Few defensive prospects look as polished and poised as Peppers has coming out of college. If they draft him, the Dolphins are hoping that he can come out of Michigan and make an immediate impact for their defense.
