Has him rated as his 50th in his player rankings.Not that I disagree but how can you rate him so low but still have him as the top DE prospect? He has Luke K as number 6 though he believes he will not be drafted that high due to the value of the position.

Gil Brandt has Coples rated 4th

[DaCityKats]

this should make us want Coples even more.

Yea I heard him say he would not take him in the first and maybe even not take him in the second.

Freddy?

I just cant understand how you can rate a player so low to the point he said he may pass on him the 3rd but have him rated as a top DE prospect.Must be the bust potential.

Coples is the Cam Newton of this draft IMO.

I mean that solely on the polarization of the player not whether I think he will be a good pro.

Mayock 2011:

5. Blaine Gabbert
6. Robert Quinn
10. Daquan Bowers
21. Cam Newton

Just to give people insight of how accurate his rankings are. He has legitimate reasoning; however, so I'm not going to fault the low rank.

Mayock had Cam newton behind blaine gabbert

Well I admit he scares me but I would at least grade him as 2nd round pick.I would be curious where some of the pro scouts have him rated and compare.Polarization is certainly the word that describes it.

He's not polarizing, he's grossly overrated

[Snake]

He's not as good as Cox's but not 50th either. It would be a hard choice if I had to choose between Brockers or Coples but I would take Coples because of production.

[EMSMedic79]

Coples at this point seems like a reward > risk.

[DaCityKats]

your top rated DE is your 50th ranked prospect because of a bust factor that each prospect has coming into draft.

21. Cam Newton*, QB, Auburn

I know, Cam Newton at 21 -- why? I believe in this kid. I believe in him as an athlete, I believe in his arm strength, but I don't believe he's in the top 10. He's got top-10 ability, but he's a developmental prospect. As a general manager, I would be comfortable taking him somewhere in the 20s.

And right before the draft his 'gut' just said 'no'
