No. 8 Arizona Cardinals: LB/S Jabrill Peppers
School: Michigan
Position: Linebacker/Safety
Class: Junior
Outlook: Arizona likes stockpiling defensive assets and an argument can be made Peppers is one of the biggest of the upcoming draft. Some teams may pass on Peppers not knowing where to play him, but Bruce Arians can find a place for Peppers to thrive. He's one of the most polarizing players in the draft with no true NFL position and low turnover numbers. Peppers is simply a ball player who can line up at safety, linebacker and return punts. The Cardinals showed last year they are not risk averse when they selected Robert Nkemdiche in the first round. One has to wonder with the release of Michael Floyd combined with Larry Fitzgerald entering the tail-end of his career if Arizona could look at wide receiver with this pick. (Getty)
