2017 NFL Mock Draft: First-round projections after Week 11

Jabrill Peppers can do it all. There’s a reason why the Michigan linebacker/safety was considered a true Heisman Trophy contender for most of the season — although a lot of the hype was media-driven. His talent is not to be overlooked as he’s probably the most athletic player in the draft, but he’s not college football’s best player.

Still, the Buffalo Bills could use a do-it-all type of player like Peppers to mix things up in the return game as well as one defense. The Bills need some help in the secondary and he was a defensive back coming out of high school and has the body of a safety.

Peppers might line up at linebacker for most of Michigan’s plays, but make no mistake, he’s only there to create mismatch problems for the tight ends and running backs while playing close to the line of scrimmage to make opposing quarterbacks sweat it out.

The junior is an absolute game-changer with a nose for the football and he seems to get in on every play. He is fast, shifty and is good at reading plays. One major knock on him is that he has yet to record an interception in his college career, but he can be disruptive in the backfield.

Buffalo could use a dynamic athlete like this to plug and play anywhere. This might be a best available pick.
