Selected By: New York Jets
Round: 1
Pick (Overall): 16 (16)
Pick Analysis:
Coples was on the radars of NFL scouts long before the 2012 NFL Draft. Coples possesses a rare combination of size, speed, athletic ability and versatility, having played numerous roles across the defensive line. Some have questioned his consistency, but Coples still has been able to produce at a high level. He has, at times, seemed to be on cruise control, teams won't be able to ignore his natural ability and the physical presence he would bring to any defense. He can play defensive end in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme, and should be selected early in the first round.
