Coples or Ingram?

couples can dominate when he is in the right frame of mind and everything seems easier for him . ingram looks like he has to work a lot harder for his sucess

Cause I think he’d be a better fight here. Not necessarily better play. But I don’t know.

I think I’m leaning more towards Melvin Ingram, as he is more versatile, and is more likely to be there at 16, or even if we decide to trade down.

I think that overall, Coples is the better prospect, but I highly doubt that he’ll be there by the time that we pick. Coples has elite pass rush skills, and is better against the run.

I’m looking at the scouting reports on ESPN Insider, and Coples is shown to be the better prospect. Ingram isn’t shown to be that great, but I don’t believe half of what I hear (or read in this case). I don’t think ESPN is the greatest of sources, but that’s what I have to go off of.

In conclusion, I would pick Coples if I could, but I don’t think he is going to be there, so I go Ingram. He does seems to be a better fit for us as well.

couples could actually be better than JPP if he puts the work in when he turns pro

anybody else try watching both videos at once???

He was advertently keeping his legs clean on many plays and absolutely taking it easy on others. But it’s not his motor, It’s his brain. This is deliberate One of his handlers got through to him about staying healthy and he took it too far imo. Parents often say things like that to blue chips like this kid cause they think it’s the smartest thing to do for their childs payday.
He is a special talent tho. The college game is too slow for him that much is easy to see. Everything comes too easy. He sheds blocks like they aren’t even there. When he wants to he can throw lineman aside like they were 12 year olds and walk to the QB with ease.
It’s troubling to see that kind of gift for dominance in a sense “wasted” but there is more at play here.
He needs his brain rebooted with a Coach who is gonna challenge him to nut up and play like the freak he is. Environment helps too. “Bright lights, Big city” is exactly the thing for a kid like this.
Often times a player “not giving effort” at the college level is not evaluated the right way. Certain players let up in the same way a child prodigy will fail his Math class because it’s all too easy for him. Thats not every loafer btw but it IS Coples. He’s gonna turn the freak on in the NFL and the team that ends up with him is gonna be lucky to have him.
Rex can turn this kid into something truly nasty and I have really enjoyed the prospect of him being a Jet.
The Idea of Wilk and Coples playing motivated on the same D-line gives me chills. It’s not even fair what thoes two would be capable of for 60 min of football.
He’s my pick all the way. But Ingram is nothing to laugh at in the slightest. I just have trouble judging his ceiling. I have the idea that he’s playing close to his max ability right now.

But Coples is a large question, Ingram looks quick and athletic enough to make the adjustment.

Although I think Ingram is a better fit scheme-wise, Coples seems to me to be far and above the more physically talented player. Should he fall to the Jets at #16, I would hope that they would entertain offers from other teams salivating over him and take the best offer. They could still get at least a couple of excellent players at excellent value and that hopefully would address a couple of needs.

I just don’t think he fits the 3-4 scheme unless He’s big enough to play 3-4 DE and Rex plans on changing his scheme so that DEs rush the QB more. Further, I don’t think it would be smart for the Jets to switch to primarily a 4-3 scheme as the LBers are just too old, big and slow. Of course that’s true for both schemes, but they are better fits in the 3-4 than 4-3. With the OLB prospects in this draft, the Jets better come out of this draft with at least one, if not 2 pass rushers.

first off he plays in the SEC the best division in CFB. He also played at a high level all year long. Second not one big time defensive player out of UNC has panned out. most of them are fat and lazy. Coples gets by on his athleticism, In the NFL he will have to get a lot stronger. Ingram is already pretty diesel the dude is jacked; he also needs some OTAs and a training camp plus a game and he’ll be ready to go. Coples will need to spend the whole year to get stronger.
