Julius Peppers was the best (and probably easiest) draft pick this franchise ever made.  What a great person this man is as well.  One of the best to do it 

I remember arguing against all of these assholes on the Charlotte Observer board back then because they thought we should take Ryan Sims instead. They blasted the site with the pictures of Pep inebriated at the Halloween/Franklin St. party they have every year flipping off the camera and saying he was a punk who was never going to be any good at the NFL level. To those Ryan Sims loving Pep haters, I say eat a dick, a whole bag of em!

What we really need is a photo of Pep holding his gold jacket next to Bryce Young.

I'd go for Cam and Pep and Bryce to exchange jerseys in the interest of fug it this is not smart.

And  damn because of box wine - yes I bet Pep can throw a spiral farther than Young and I have never seen him throw.

poo against Young criticism just is ridiculous sometimes, without any backup aside from college.

    • Ron's two seasons he took to figure it out would be massive successes compared to the 2018-Present period. Those 6 and 7 win seasons look pretty great now.  Do you honestly think he will jump up to a 10+ win year in 2026? That's what Ron did.
    • I disagree, a lot of people on here have said their opinions on signees, draftees, coaching hires, who to play etc and have made better decisions than the front office. Not saying they could run a team, but they seem to be better armchair GMs than our current regime the last 6 years. 
    • You might want to look at that table again.  Round 2 has the least QB's taken in that time period. What is more interesting is how the "darts at a dart board" happens in the 6th and 7th round. Those are the 2nd and 3rd most frequently drafted rounds for NFL QB's.  If you are strictly using my criteria for "success" it does lend credence to that not being an awful strategy. At 17-21% chance to get a bare minimum of 30+ starts OR a 5+ year career. That's pretty good for a very throwaway pick. I don't know how that would compare to other positions. I would maybe have to adapt what I have done to something like PFR's Career AV to set a line that accomplished roughly the same result as I have from the spreadsheet. If I can get to a number value, applying this to each position wouldn't be that hard. Not sure how "fair" that is without making some adjustment based on averages for each position. I would have to do that as well, I think. A positional "handicap" of sorts.
