NFL Draft Day Approaching for Tar Heels
Posted Apr 10, 2012
Mock drafts compiled by ESPN's draft experts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay have defensive end Quinton Coples being selected in the first round. McShay has Coples headed to the home-state Carolina Panthers with the No. 9 overall pick, while Kiper projects the 6-foot-6, 290-pounder going to the Seattle Seahawks at No. 12. Either selection puts Coples in elite company.
