I can see TT giving Jabrill Peppers' versatility a long look. He's a coverage upgrade over Hyde in the slot. He's an upgrade over Hyde in run support though not a huge upgrade. Micah was pretty good in run support. He's a massive punt return upgrade over Hyde. He's a likely replacement for Morgan Burnett at SS when Morgan hits FA after this year. 

If he looks for a Burnett replacement I hope he finds a true FS in the Nick Collins mold rather than another guy who is a better run stuffer than centerfielder. Dix has been an adequate centerfielder, but he's not an aggressive ballhawk like Collins or Earl Thomas. Same for Burnett and Hyde. Budda Baker in R1 (if he's there) or Tedric Thompson in R4 would be better options IMO, those guys are strong in coverage with flexibility to cover the Slot. Baker especially would have an instant impact at FS.
