The FB and drop have the same spin (if thrown correctly) but it is the rate of spin that causes them to drop and the way they are released. You can "miss" a peel drop high and it wont drop. It's all about getting "on top of the ball" and releasing it back in your delivery. This is why so many teach to short step to try to get your body leaning foward so your release is back, causing your hand to have to spin the ball harder in order to throw it as a strike.Why do the peel drop and roll over drop...drop? They have the same spin as a fastball. Do you believe they have more rotations?
