Pick No.83

Selected By: Atlanta Falcons

Round: 3

Pick (Overall): 19 (83)

Pick Analysis: Peters was a productive, three-year starter for the Wildcats. He has a good combination of size, strength and athleticism but doesn't have outstanding bulk for an interior defender. He has long arms and active hands to gain leverage on his opponent but lacks great initial power at the point of attack. He flashes ability as a pass rusher with power to push the pocket, as well as quickness to penetrate gaps. He feels pad pressure and reacts well to blocking schemes to maintain leverage on the inside. He is a competitive player but can be inconsistent with his effort to finish if stymied early in the play. Peters has natural talent but doesn't have explosive power and lacks overall consistency in his play. That will hinder his ability to become a starter in the league.
