Jabrill Peppers isn't a perfect NFL prospect by any means.
He measured a hair under 5-foot-11 at the combine earlier this month, he played a super-utility position at Michigan that doesn't translate perfectly to the NFL, and his lack of takeaways on the defensive side of the ball - he forced just two turnovers in 27 career games - is rightfully a concern of scouts who project him as a safety in their league.
But Peppers has two very important things going for him as NFL teams begin to set their boards for April's draft, and that's why I gave him to the Lions with the 21st pick in my latest mock draft.
