Jets take UNC's Coples with 16th pick

Leave it to the Jets to screw up a draft. It's their MO.

With their VP of college scouting on the way out the door, Joey Clinkscales leaves the Jets with another questionable defensive player from the draft in Quintin Coples.

Coples possesses great size and ability at defensive end; however, there has been plenty of criticism about his work ethic. Some out there think he doesn't have the desire to play consistently at a high level. Sound familiar? Vernon Gholston was a guy with great ability but lacked the motor to play.

The Jets could have, and probably should have, taken Chandler Jones, a highly touted defensive end out of Syracuse, but once the Jets passed on him, leave it to Bill Belichick and the Patriots to nab him. Watch Belichick turn him into a stud defensive player.

The Jets could have also drafted Melvin Ingram, a hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker who has the versatility to play both positions. He's a dominate player out of South Carolina and heading to the Chargers. In short, looks like another royal screw-up by Gang Green.
