Whats Peppers Worth realistically?

[thefuzz]

Any talk out there from the media guys on his worth if we are even able to tag and trade Pep?

Sorry if there is already one of these.

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.

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, I think I'd be happy with a first and a third.

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.

Give me a 1st and a 2nd....and I will have the signed paperwork to you by dinner.

[Doc Holiday]

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.

I will also say that the Single most important thing for the Panthers atm is to resign Gross, if he desn't sign a contract we will need to tag him instead of Peppers.

[Kurb]

1st and some change is what I want.

2nd and some change is probably what we will get.

Strong possibility we get nothing and he just walks.

[Highlandfire]

Get the Gross deal done, then franchise and trade peppers. I think we get a first and 3rd for him.

[PhillyB]

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.

[rayzor]

btw.....if he goes to another NFCS team (which i doubt will happen) we HAVE to keep gross. if anyone knows how to block him it would be gross.
