Like I said perfect fit for KC's press-man and stud pass rush. He lacks in zone coverage (watch tape of him and Strong in college) and that is what we play mostly. Throw in a bad pass rush and I wouldn't see him making plays for us like he's doing in KC. INTs are one thing but giving up a s**t ton of TDs and yards is worse IMO.
Sherman only has 2 INTs is he no good? Peters has a good career ahead of him but there were many other more deserving IMO
Marcus Peters, CB, Kanas City Chiefs Per PFF:
Why he was picked: Those big, juicy interception numbers. A rookie with seven picks? He must be playing brilliantly.
Why he is a poor pick: Because interceptions aren't everything. And what's more, why don't we look at the actual picks themselves? There is a big difference between the ball being thrown to you, and actually making a play on the ball. We can't ignore the fact that Peters has been beat for seven touchdowns this year (fourth-worst in the league) and allowed more yards into his coverage (902) than every NFL corner except Pittsburgh's Antwon Blake.
Alternative selection: Pick your poison, because cornerback is a deep position this season. Let's look at Detroit's Darius Slay (88.9), briefly, because he had a heck of a year and got no love. Buffalo's Ronald Darby (87.1) would be another fine rookie option.
