Maybe its midnight and im dazing off, but I just had a couple thoughts come to me after reading over a couple of threads on here. Since we signed Wake already, and theres speculation going around that Crowder is gone and that theres a possibility of Peppers coming to Miami, what would we do with all those players? Before people tear into me I will explain how/why I would do these things. With Crowder possibly being gone, I would move Peppers to ILB, in essence that would 'maximise' his abilities. Good motor, awareness, speed etc. He was one of the few that would chase Vick down in the open field. I would move Wake there, but i believe Peppers would be more versitle at ILB. I would move Wake to OLB to take Roths spot. This kid is a beast. Big and fast can bull rush or run around and make the sack/tackle. Again only reason I would put him out here is because Peppers is more suited for a ILB ie: Adalius Thomas for NE. Then in the draft I would definatly try and go for a stud FS to add much needed playmaking ablities to our secondary. Our front 7 would be DISGUSTING and intimdating just how Parcells likes to build his D. Again staying in NC and watching peppers play he has all the tools to be a ILB. I think he would be better suited at it than Wake due to size and experience. But just imagine, Porter, Peppers, Ayodele, Wake at LBs.. SICK!!!! :up:
 
Peppers lacks the agility and instincts to play ILB. Nice thought though.
 
projecting a stud DE who excels in pass rushing to ILB is kinda point less, i could see maybe to OLB but still, he's been a DE forever and thats his bread and butter he would have to learn coverages and how to read and react in diff situations if he moved to LB. he's a 4-3 DE a very good one he will stay there
