Garrett Peppers and 1st rounder
-
News flash...he won't be playing LB in the NFL.He was simply a fourth LB for UM last year.
News flash...he won't be playing LB in the NFL.
No way.....dont see that happening......nope.
I'll take some of that... I'm already up one beer on Mud...
1st play first Defensive series? No... but without a rostered, 3-down LOLB... at least that I can see, I think he'll draw an LB-hybrid role early and often.
Only way I can see losing a bet on that is if Gregg finds a better candidate.

Outside of Braylon Edwards and Derrick Alexander, Michigan has given us lunch pal guys to admire like Safety Thom Darden, Center Steve Everitt, RB Leroy Hoard and even FB/H-Back Aaron Shea.
Mike Mayock (who was raised by a high school football coach) before he got drafted as a DB - has a lot of knowledge of DBs and what they show on film. I trust why he rated Peppers #1. And like Jon Gruden said, it doesn't hurt to have experience at S, CB and LBer when heading to the NFL because of all the different schemes he'll face from week to week.1 week he may see a lot of double tight; another he may see a lot more spread, another week he may face a great run team so the more ways he can defend people (as used by Harbaugh's staff) - the more intriguing he gets. In 2016, he had 15 tackles for a loss and we've seen some of these that were fun to watch.
While Jalapeno Peppers might not warm everyone's groin in Ohio - I get the feeling he changed Gregg Williams' football wood factor from balsa to sequoia.

Michigan just took the lead over BAMA in this draft...
ROLL TIDE... or Woody will be insufferable...

Love Garrett, I'm in the camp that doesn't believe Peppers has a 2-3 down position in the NFL which should be a given at #25. I'm also nervous that Hue is talking using Peppers on offense. He is going to have to learn both sides of the ball?
-
I'll admit when they traded down I was pissed. I have to say though Garrett, peppers and Njoku AND 2018 1st? Close to a mic drop.
-
as said 3 fucking starters but yet some assholes want to bitch we also get an extra first to make it almost impossible not to get the best qb in the draft next year
Well some trade ammunition in the first round might help.
I still think that they could've done better but isn't that true about everyone.

Also in the news...
Michigan lost half its starters...
Only once, just to put it in this thread:
Michigan had a lot of seniors on the roster. A lot of guys from the Hoke era. Not nearly at the level Harbaugh is bringing in, but they had the experience and a few years of Harbaugh coaching. This is not a usual case of losing all your seniors and getting worse, as we're still turning it into Harbaughโs team.
Ex, we had 3 Sr OL and none were drafted. Saying "Look at all of the Srs they lost!" doesn't mean much when the guys replacing them will be better.
Alright, that's it.

Peppers isn't half as good as Hooker. Hate this pick.
Ball hawking? No, Hooker wins that going away. But all around DB play? That gap narrows...
While I'm not a big fan of Chuckie, Gruden made a couple interesting comments about Peppers...
- his PassD numbers would have been much higher had been primarily utilized in a single-high role, and
- if he could pick one guy to be the last tackler between a ball carrier and the winning TD, it'd be Peppers.

Another thing he said is in the NFL he'll face a lot of double tights 1 week, then see multiple Receiver sets another week and strong running game another week and a lot of different things; so the more experience he's had at multiple roles like covering a slot, playing LBer, playing corner, playing Safety, etc - the more intriguing he is to NFL DCs. Like you said, good tackling doesn't hurt either.
I like Mayock a lot even if I find him more of an expert at some positions than others. He was a DB raised by a high school football coach so when he rated Peppers #1 as a Safety - I trust his knowledge in doing so.

So did Bama but there are always a bunch of 5*****s just chomping at the bit to take their places. MFers!
Yup... motivated to get off special teams...

Let's just hope he does not turn out to be ash....as in the stuff that is left after a tree catches on fire, not on the "brand" of tree itself.

Ohio State had 7 in a "down" year....but had 3 in first round, and like 5-6 in rounds 1-3. TUN had more players taken down the line.
(and I think there were actually 3 that were left undrafted, including Stribling that the Browns picked up)
