Found this website linked from catscratchreader, some interesting info and opinions there - http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/02/21/your-guide-to-free-agency-the-nfc-south/

Please Don’t Go: Question: Who was a better player, 2009 Julius Peppers or 2010 Charles Johnson? It was Johnson and it’s not even close. That’s not even a criticism of Peppers as much as an indication of how superb Johnson (who led all defensive ends in QB disruptions and defensive stops) was. You ideally want to get him locked down as well Ryan Kalil but Carolina definitely can’t let another franchise pass rusher get away.

I agree that we need to lock up CJ. Our DL is pretty damn weak right now. He's the only stand out player in the unit. Our DTs are the NFL equivalent of thrift store pick ups and our other DEs are young and promising, but that promise hasn't produced a whole lot on the field yet. Gotta hang onto CJ or our DL is likely to be in truly sad ass shape.

Certainly they both have upsides. Yet with the Ego of peppers you want to go with Johnson every week/every down. Peppers maybe a better athlete, but Johnson certainly proved his worth. His next season will be a deciding factor in this overall comparison. Now that he has shown his abilities and the opposing DC will account for him. Should be interesting to watch for sure.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
