I hate boom or bust guys like Coples. and I hate that s*** on his arm. He's the guy I want least

Here's how I rank all the guys that could somehow be there at #9...

Claiboure

Blackmon

Cox

Ingram

Floyd

Kuechly

Coples

Coples

Ingram

I think the writings on the wall with Coples. A lot of the criticism on him seems to me like pre-draft smoke to get a guy to fall, and we have visited him a lot.

If he's the pick, then given Hurney's and Rivera's track record for picking talent I think he'll be the best choice. Furthermore, a strong pass rush covers for a lot more defensive holes than anything else, and Coples has shown more talent than anyone in the draft at that. When the biggest red flag on a prospect is supposed effort, then having a coach like Rivera that can get players to buy in is crucial.

As for Ingram, I just don't think he fits our scheme and his college results seemed a bit inflated compared to his physical ability (same for Kuechly.)

    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
    • My meds from the stone removal, so if I get extra grouchy. Ya know. 😂🤣😂
    • Who says no to the following.  Trade KK and Morrow for a draft pick of some sort.  Sign the following:  Bennett 8m AAV Ekblad 8m AAV Boeser 7.5m AAV Marner 13m AAV Cap numbers work after the trade of KK and Morrow.
