It's a shame this guy hasn't been discussed much in the media despite already being what Poe still isn't (an elite run stuffer) but is a guy that would add so much to our team.

At 6'1 and 310, he has a great, wide body. He is, in my opinion, without a doubt the best 3-4 nosetackle and run stuffer in this draft, alongside Brandon Thompson (another prospect who I'd love who is getting ignored by the media). We all know the nosetackle position is one of, if not the most, important part of a 3-4 defense and get this. Chapman, and effectively, manned one of the greatest college defenses in history on a torn ACL and meniscus. That is toughness.

Unfortunately, he will likely have to start his rookie season on PUP due to just now getting surgery. But would anyone here be opposed to him in the second round? It's a shame he doesn't play a glamorous position or put up eye popping stats because what he can add to a run defense is tremendous. He would also help us if we ever decided to transition into a 3-4 defense. There's been comparisons made to Casey Hampton, who has anchored one of the best defenses in the league for 11 seasons now. If we could get someone like that in the 2nd or 3rd round (which it's possible he might fall to), it would be a dream. He's partially the reason why I'd prefer to not go defensive tackle in the first round if possible as I think we could ****** either one of Thompson or Chapman in the 2nd.

Last year I though Jurrell Casey was the next Casey Hampton.. turns out I was right. Wish we drafted him instead of McClain in the 3rd round. That being said, I think Josh Chapman is the next Jurrell Casey, and I think we could get him in the 3rd, if we somehow get a 3rd for JStew.

      Honest Conversation about Tulsky

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Sometimes it's nice to get an outside perspective on things we are emotionally invested in. NYT/Athletic did a midway breakdown of every teams' biggest offseason acquisitions. Here's our part: Notable additions: Nikolaj Ehlers ($8.5 million x six years), K’Andre Miller (acquired in exchange for a conditional 2026 first-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick and Scott Morrow) Early return: It took the Hurricanes some time to find Ehlers’ ideal lineup fit. He began the season on a line with Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis, but that combination didn’t really click, with their marquee signing registering just four points in his first 11 games. Since then, though, Ehlers has settled in and found his groove. The dynamic, speedy Danish winger has scored 27 points in his last 31 games. He initially built chemistry with Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake, but with Jarvis’ injury, he’s been bumped back up to the top line with Aho and Andrei Svechnikov, with this new-look trio clicking impressively. Ehlers’ game-breaking puck-carrying ability has added an exciting new dimension to Carolina’s rush attack. He’s been a consistently dangerous play-driver (Carolina’s controlled 60 percent of scoring chances during his five-on-five shifts) and I’d argue his point production has actually undersold his impact on Carolina’s offense. Ehlers has collected a point on just 52 percent of the five-on-five goals he’s been on the ice for — he’s been snakebitten and has deserved to pick up a few more assists. I’m also still a fan of Carolina’s expensive bet on Miller. Yes, he’s made occasional mistakes and has been narrowly outscored during his five-on-five minutes despite his strong underlying metrics, but context is important. Miller was supposed to lead Carolina’s second pair, but Jaccob Slavin’s injuries (he’s only played five games this season) have forced him to take on a larger top-pair role. That’s meant eating a career-high 22:35 per game and handling some of the toughest matchups of all NHL defensemen. Miller has held his own in this daunting role, and I’d expect his performance to level up once Slavin’s return allows him to settle into the second-pair slot he was actually acquired to fill.
