Lots of love for Carolina. 5 guys in the top 36 overall, 4 in the top 25. But this is a little interesting.

9. Julius Peppers, DE, Carolina Panthers: The best defensive end in the game, Peppers was the force behind the Panthers' magical '08 season. Still playing his very best, he's one of the rare defensive players that can singlehandedly will a team to victory. With a new defensive coordinator, Carolina needs him in camp sooner rather than later. That deal needs to get done.

Also- Beason the #1 LB(20th overall)

Gross #1 OL

D will #3 RB

Smitty #3 WR

Pep #2 4-3DE

Jake did not make the top 100.

The only thing I didn't like is TD not being up there with some of the LBs I saw on the list, but that's about the only gripe. I feel the rest are very well palced an I do appreciate that he put Beason at the top of the LBs (one spot above Willis).

Apples vs Oranges. Clady is best young Pass Blocking LT and Otah is best young Run Blocking LT. And Clady really has not had much of a chance to show off his run blocking ability. We will see what he has this year as DEN goes to a more run oriented offense. DEN secretly had the best O Line (statistically anyways) in football last year.

I don't remember but I think the Cats did get to Cutler a couple of times in that game which was a rarity for that OL to allow. Either way, I wouldn't knock Pep too much if he didn't do much in that game because that OL was amazing.

I don't think Pep was THE force behind the 2008 season though.

every year I love watching the 'battle' between Beason and Willis.

When Willis got drafted I was like "damn it!!" but then was reading about Beason and I now obviously think he is just as good. I say that meaning that these are the now future HOFers in the NFL both are amazing, it is hard to say that 1 is better then the other.

Davis, Johnson, and Bryton all got sacks. I dont think they was given up by clady though. Im pretty sure Clady only gave up 1/2 sack all year.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.

      I am not so sure about that. I don't know that he is so soley offensively focused as winning focused. But, not really in a productive way. I get the impression he wants to be like Robert Kraft and take credit for "taking a risk on Bill Belichick" and being successful.  His track record indicates that in the NFL and in his business life.
