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.

      Fire Rod

      I agree that roster construction is a bigger issue than Rod.  I don't know what coach behind the bench is winning this series.  We weren't even supposed to compete this year, but people are mad because we're getting swept in the ECF again.  If we lost in 7 last round people wouldn't feel that way.

      And I won't even get into our forward lines... We have three legit forwards in aho, Svech, and Jarvis and a bunch of grinders. There is a reason why we have a hard time putting the puck in the net - nobody on this team knows how to shoot

      I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko
