Adoree Jackson vs jabrill peppers

[mhughes0021]

Assuming were heading for another top 15 pick and have an obvious need in the secondary. Who ya got?

 

[cheeno]

Peppers for me. Are we mathematically eliminated already?

 

[dubbsco]

As a U of M slap, I love Jabrill, but he's not what the Lions need. He's horrible in coverage.

My god have you seen our offensive line.

Please draft linemen.

how many more high draft picks do you want to spend on the o-line? we've spent way to many high picks on o-line to be doing this shitty...

Agree sort of. I definitely don't see him as a shut down corner in the nfl by any means....but he can definitely be the honey badger v2.0. Id take one of those in the 10-15 range of the first round. I do agree though. ..you don't see him make many plays based on his cover skills. ..dude is just a freak athlete.

Agreed.....but that has absolutely no bearing on the fact the line needs better players. If it sucks, it sucks. Tomlinson might be the worst G in the NFL. Should we not upgrade because he's a 1st round pick?

Maybe they come together in the next 14 weeks....but as of now we still need to improve no matter what round guys were drafted in.

As of now I think the LB's are worse. Plus, the LT is a rookie and a couple other positions are young. Can't keep getting OL. Let them try to jell first.

 

[tomdalton22]

from what I have read it sounds like Peppers is best suited to play safety in the NFL

 

[cheeno]

Haha...we need one or more of those too.

 

[dubbsco]

He doesn't have near the coverage skills of honey badger. Peppers is much better closer to the line. The further he gets into the secondary the worse off he is.

It's pretty sad that as much as they've focused on trying to fix the offensive line, it's still total crap. Tomlinson looks lost, Swanson is so average, Reiff's meh.

 

[LKP]

Peppers is tavon wilson or killebrew

 

[dubbsco]

Jabrill is another level of athletic. Do those guys do anything in punt/kick returns? Peppers adds another huge impact in special teams.

I don't know if he's going to be a great pro, but he's a projected 1st rounder and has a ton of talent in all sports of areas in the game.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lions will never win a title until they fix the offensive line. I do not care when they pick guys. Just do it . Even if it is for depth. It has to be fixed. In my opinion linemen should be drafted first if possible then linebacker, then db, then next best guy.

 

[brewer229]

Lions will always struggle to win if they keep trying to be a great offense. They aren't one. They were close to having a dominate defense, but they couldn't complete it because we "needed" more weapons on offense.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I agree. The offense, at times, can score. Fix the D and maybe you won't find yourself down 28-3.

 

[LKP]

Refs call holding on Packers and OPI on Jordy Nelson. Ansah and Levy come back. Consider it fixed

 

[Mitchrapp]

You can't count on Levy, 1 game since 2014. He's done.

 

[Mitchrapp]

No more need to say it. I got you covered.

 

[dubbsco]

Bob, the problem is they have been trying to fix the offensive line through high picks in the draft lately and because the organization is so clueless, they draft the wrong guys.

I still can't believe Tomlinson was a 1st rounder. He looks like he could have been picked up in free agency.
