Please no positionless players at #8. Right now, Peppers is an athlete first and a football player 2nd. He's going to have to learn a TON at the NFL level. Instant impact special teamer but the jury is out on him finding a full time role on a defense. He may never be anything more than a situational player.

this video just spent the last 15 explaining how he does have a position, why it looks like he doesnt have a postion at Michigan. 

long story short he took one for the team and played a role that didnt do him any favors and this kid is an elite level talent.

I don't buy it. You're telling me that you have an elite NFL prospect at the college level and you get 119 tackles, 3 sacks, and 1 INT out of him in three seasons and he was a total part time situational player up until his 3rd season?

Michigan's coaching staff can't be that inept. I think it's more likely that they simply created a role for him to get him on the field because he didn't really fit anywhere. My fear with Peppers is that he's an athlete, not a football player.

I think he'll have a long NFL career even if it's just as a special teamer but I also think there's a pretty decent chance that he's never much more than a pure special teamer.

Watch the video. He lays it out pretty well that Michigan put him in a position to stop outside plays and funnel the action back inside for the interior players to clean up.

Yeah, that's exactly how you use an elite prospect... if you can't figure out anyway else to use him. He was a purely situational player for two years for a reason.

If we could get Peppers in the 3rd round (where Mathieu was drafted), I'd be thrilled with that.

Mathieu went in the third due to character concerns. Otherwise, he would have been a first round pick.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
