Upshaw fell yesterday in the draft and there is a chance he could fall to the Panthers. He was a stud at Bama playing DE/OLB. I think I like him better as a DE. If he fell to the Panthers tonight do we pull the trigger and land him in the NFC South. How would he fit on this team?

He is a tweener.....and does not have the speed and explosiveness that many scouts originally thought he did.

Much bigger needs and better fits in the 2nd that him.

I understand that. He was a very productive player at Bama and he made a lot of plays on that defense. He could be a steal in round 2.

I agree with you and this is coming from an Auburn fan. I've watched him play a lot and he always goes full speed. He has a little bit of a nasty attitude but that's okay as long as it;s kept within the rules.

Courtney Upshaw is the exact same size as Charles Johnson, 6'2" 270lbs. Could be an interesting pick. I do like Vinny Curry more. That being said, I think if Janoris Jenkins is on the board, we probably take him.

I like Upshaw much better than Curry and as one poster pointed out he's virtually the same size and weight as Charles Johnson and Vinny Curry for that matter. Upshaw just has that "I'm a football player" swag and knows how to get after the quarterback. He's what they call nasty.

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
