Whats Peppers Worth realistically?

If he were in this season's draft, where would he be selected?

I think the two first round selections that are normally applied to tagged players is fair. I'm hoping for San Deigo.[/quote

SD has too many holes to give up 1st's and AJ Smith loves the draft. Not to mention they have to sign V. Jackson, S. Merriman, and Rivers.

Pep may want to play there but they can't afford him.

Honestly if Pep were in this draft he would go right where he was selected in 2002...top 1 or 2 picks. The guy is still a freak and IMO outside of Mario Williams he is the best DE in the league. The only reason he is not #1 to me is because he is 29 years old.

It sucks that most of the teams that will probably be interested in him are in the NFC but I would take anyones pick in the top 18 as well as a 3rd or 4th rounder. He is worth at least one first round pick and anyone that says differently is stupid. I guarantee he will have at least 15-16 sacks next year for whoever trades for him and that is a lot more than the likes of Brian Orakpo, Everrette Brown, or Michael Johnson..

the demand is going to be pretty high for peppers. a lot of teams are licking their chops and a lot of GMs are trying to figure out how to get him.

we should be able to get at least one 1st round for him.

2 isn't unreasonable. a first and a second is most likely.

the best thing is it won't take any work on our part to trade him. all the panthers need to do is slap the non-exclusive tag on him and wait for peppers and his agent to work something out. panthers just have to say yes or no to the deal.

Some here will say a 5th round pick at best others will say two 1st round picks.

The realistic worth of Peppers is one 1st round pick and a 3rd and another pick this is based upon the precedent set by the KC trade of Jared Allen to the Vikings last year so the trade will be somewhere around there at least, the actual picks will be based upon where the picks actually are, for example a early 2nd and a early 3rd is better then a late 1st and a late 3rd, if you get what I'm saying.

Trade him for the deciding role in the NFC South's cheerleader selection. Then make the Bucs, Falcons, and Saints' cheerleaders ugly bearded men. their fan bases will be demoralized, the players will lose heart, they'll lose or tie all their games and the panthers will be gaurunteed at least 6-10 in 2009.

I'm guessing we'll get a first and a third.

the thing that may make peppers more valuable to a team is the star power that peppers has. even though he may hate it, he draws a lot of attention and a lot of fans.

the increase in ticket and jersey sales may make some team want him a bit more.

for a small market team wanting to get more attention (KC type) or a large market team that thrives on getting "hot" players (dallas type) he will be in high demand.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
