Coples to Rams

I wanted Coples bad and thought he fit what we needed (pass rushing 4-3 DE with size, young) that fit DG's mold (reclamation project, upside, budget-friendly).  Given his UNC ties, thought Coples would be a good add, but In DG we trust.

Funny how the DE musical chairs continues......

Rams OUT: Chris Long  - Rams IN: Quinton Coples

Patriots OUT: Chandler Jones - Patriots IN: Chris Long

Cardinals IN: Chandler Jones

Between Price, Personality, Position, and Playing Time, I wouldn't rule out Personality as the big reason we didn't sign him. Gettleman wants players who hate losing, and Coples has that rep in the NFL of not trying hard

Obviously many Panther fans are Chapel Hill fans, while many are also not.  I get the vibe the Panthers FO is neutral at best with that school, and certainly don't let that sway their opinion.

    • He's not going to get fired, if anything happens and it's mostly a certainity at this point, he will be allowed to resign or move into a different role with the program. 
    • Don't think it hurts that much. IMO, not much of a dropoff from somebody like Gipson compared to Rozeboom. Regardless, I still think we are looking at an ILB in the first 3 rounds. There are quite a few interesting prospects between Rodriguez, Golday, and Hill Jr. that would be good 2nd round picks if they make it to us (Rodriguez might be a stretch since it seems like teams are falling in love with him). Kyle Louis and Lawson are worth a look also in the 3rd
    • I think that is the first goal of pretty much every team. No one seeks to make it in via WC, in August anyway. You take what you can get, but you always set out to win your division.  People look around at their division foes and say okay we can probably expect strong rushing attacks. So we’ll need a stout run D. Mandatory. Etc. We drafted TD basically to spy on Vick. We could do nothing with him up until then. It kind of helped but they were still putting it on us too often for a while. You have to match up to your division.
