Player: S Jabrill Peppers
Stock Value: Purchased
Reasoning: The Steelers signed veteran DB Jabrill Peppers in the wake of DeShon Elliott’s injury, though his role is unclear. While he is capable of contributing on defense, he is brand new, and Pittsburgh has other options. Brandin Echols and Chuck Clark already stepped in last game, so Peppers, for now, may be more about depth.
On Tuesday, when asked if he would’ve liked to have drafted Jabrill Peppers, Mike Tomlin said he doesn’t like to draft that high. While a team that almost always drafts high did draft him, Peppers was not the Browns’ first first-round pick that year.
