56. Quarterback Andy Dalton and receiver A.J. Green are the headliners on the Cincinnati Bengals offense. Now that they have the tickets sold, it’s time to build the defense to win a championship. With Vontaze Burfict back, the defensive front-seven is solidified again. <p>The Bengals are okay at the cornerback position too but safety is where the team needs help. The Bengals need the most help at head coach because the team is stacked but that’s another article. They tried to bring back Taylor Mays this offseason but he couldn’t stay off that bud.</p> <p>So picking up a safety like Jabrill Peppers in the 2017 NFL Draft is a good idea for the team. Peppers is a versatile, do-it-all safety that can cover in man coverage as well as zone coverage, He’s also physical enough to put in the box and has the range to play single-high safety.</p> <p>So the Bengals can put him at whatever safety position they want to line him up at. His ability to flip the field or score on special teams as a return specialist gives him even more value. Peppers is a good football player that can help put the Bengals over the top.</p>. S. Michigan. Jabrill Peppers. 8. player
