Coples

I think he needs to be the pick if everything about him checks out. I trust Rivera in his assessment of a guy's desire and if Coples checks out in this area then I think he needs to be the pick. Throughout the season the only two guys that got pressure on the QB for us were Hardy and CJ. If one of them went out (as we saw in the NO game with CJ out) we got ZERO pressure on the QB. Coples would fill two obvious needs in run stopping as well as help in the secondary as a great pass rush can make a bad secondary look good. I'm pretty sure he played DT at UNC for a year before moving to the outside so it wouldn't be a stretch to put him in there with Hardy and CJ on some downs to create more pressure. He is a monster at 6'6'' 285. So, if he's there at #8 then IMO he needs to be the pick...and I'm a State fan saying this.

If we add him then we add back to our defense Jon Beason, Ron Edwards, Quinton Coples, Thomas Davis (hopefully). That would be a COMPLETELY different defense from 2011.

That whole team was a mess, from the administration to the coaches and on down. Some of their players are much better than they looked on the field and will be fine NFL players.

Stop making excuse for Coples having no motor and pretty much being a waste of space. It didn't stop player like Redding and Zac brown from playing up to a standard.

Coples has Bust all over him. I would hate if he was the pick.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
