Coples is probably the most talented non skill position player in the draft. Yet his production is barely above average according to what I read. I'll take the person with a little less ability who has the tenacity and determination where he will not be denied and will not be defeated over the entitlement people any day.

Not sure what character issues you are referring to? He certainly does not have drug or immorality (?) issues. And what do you mean he was not productive?
He was the most productive DE/DT in this draft. People simply expected him to have another double digit sack season (he had 7.5) in 2011, even though he lost his HC and the new coaching staff not only moved him to a new position, but did not use him properly.
