    No thanks to Peppers.

    Adams, Hooker, or Foster. Good chance none are available however.

    No one wants Trubisky? Or is it that he won't last that long?

    When's the last time a new head coach that used to be a DC in the NFL hired a DC and let him run his own defense?
    We'll see Imp. Hope you're right, don't think you are. McDermott has no Tampa-2, and he didn't hire a McDermott defense guy. He hired Tampa-2 Frazier who has never run anything else. They then hired Babich, a disciple of the Tampa 2. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably not a chicken.

    He was there in my latest mock in the simulator thread so I snagged him.

    Peppers is 6'1 and weighs 205 lbs, Mace.

    Seriously? Maybin was a DE, not a safety.

    Maybin was 6'4 and 237 lbs.

    Peppers is 6'1 205 lbs....he's a safety, not a DE or LB.

    Foster of Alabama. He can play at any LB position. Picturing him and his old mate Ragland coming to camp would make me very happy.

    Maybin was a 'tweener' for DE and LB. The term 'tweener' isn't exclusive to safeties.

    Figure 10lbs for NFL weight training, and he's right up there with tweener Bryan Scott from Jauron era.

    He's 205 lbs!

    You're really reaching here, YardRat.

    The Bills biggest need right now (besides QB) is at the safety position.

    Aaron Williams might be forced to retire, and Corey Graham turns 32 years young in July.

    I love Corey Graham, but he's got a $5.4 million cap hit in 2017 and he's not a natural safety, he's a cornerback that was moved to safety.

    Even if Williams doesn't retire, he has a history of not being able to stay healthy for a full season.

    Aaron Williams doesn't look like he's going to be able to play safety in 2017.

    We have a need at Safety. Actually need 2.

    Picking one at #10 would be foolish. 2006 will never be forgotten. Michael Huff picked at #7, Whitner at #8.

    Peppers is 21 years old and his body metabolism enables him to eat and drink as many wings and beers one can possibly consume without gaining a single pound.

    He's a natural born safety.

    At 6'1, his body is not made to play LB or DE in the NFL.

    You know that, I know that, the Tampa-2 does not know that, ala Bryan Scott.

    The LB position is not in critical condition for the Bills, safety is.

    If Whaley manages to sign either Zach Brown or Lorenzo Alexander, the Bills will be fine at LB in a 4-3 base defense.

    Bryan Scott was 6'1 220 lbs.

    You could have Jabrill Peppers drink a 12 pack every day and eat at the Big Tree Inn every night and still not come even close to him gaining 15 pounds.

    I know that too, Imp. Doesn't mean the Tampa-2 does, if we go that way.

    Lorenzo Alexander won't be on this team, doesn't fit scheme

    Zach Brown is almost absolutely mandatory now though.
