This is a good plan as well.

I'm greedy, I want both. Hehe. I'd take the #3 and take Curry if available. If Curry isn't available that means that Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe ARE. So you still can't lose drafting one of those monsters. Then you try to package #23 and other picks for Peppers. Now that's one sick defense.

Exactly how did you get the #3 without giving up our #23?

VJCPatriot

Cassel and a 2nd plus Vrabel = #3? It all depends on how the Cassel trade breaks down.
And obviously you have to move Cassel first to clear up the cap space to acquire Peppers.

Yeah, that's why two years ago, he had two... count them, TWO sacks. The entire year. At a position he wouldn't be playing here. He's a proven regular season sack artist that disappears in the playoffs and has no experience in this defense. Giving up a potential franchise quarterback, let alone additional picks, for the guy would be terrible. Oh yeah, and he's going to be 30 soon.

The only thing that concerns me about Peppers is his motor, his age and that he hasn't played OLB before.

He is a physical freak, he has been dominating and he probably is worth it..I wouldn't complain...but getting another LB that rocks the house would be friggin sweet potato pie

#3 is too much to give up for Peppers, no matter how you look at it. Jared Allen had comparable production, wasn't changing positions, and was 3 years younger, and the Vikings only gave up #17, #73 and #82 equalling about 1355 points (the swap of 6th rounders was fairly minimal in value). That's about equal to the #9 pick in the draft. The #3 pick is worth about 2200 points. The difference of 850 points is equivalent to the #20 pick.

If we got #3 I would attempt to trade it back. We could always go after Peppers with a lower 1st round pick if we still wanted him.

I'm not in the Peppers camp. Take the pick, draft Curry or one of the LTs. We had Mayo at #10 and Seymour at #6. Nothing wrong with ascending.
