it's not a huge deal, but it's worth knowing. it'll definitely affect how the draft shakes out.

Actually it is a big deal JD its already a crowded market for very specific types of realitively rare players and it just got more crowded..im hopefull we will use a split base defense 3-4 with a lot of 4-3 schemes because if we cant get at least one more awesome 3-4 lineman and one true 3-4 olb and one true 3-4 ilb we may not improve much and our scouts obviously cant compete with the steelers and patriots to find those unseen talents...

Peppers arrived in Carolina after the Capers era ended. Did Capers coach at NC? I dont know.

Whoops, you're right. Capers was fired in 1999, and Peppers was drafted in '02.

I was hoping we could bring him to develop as a 3-4 OLB; the Packers likely are planning the same.

And Capers used to coach Peppers, if you're looking for a landing spot.

Great point. The only thing is that Packers GM Ted Thompson is a "build through the draft" kind of guy. However, he's made exceptions in the past - for instance, signing Charles Woodson to a 6 year, $52 million deal.

Having Aaron Kampman and Julius Peppers as bookend pass-rushers would be absolutely sick.
