The Most Overrated Prospect Of The Draft- Gerald McCoy

It's not even close. Gerald McCoy is by far the most overrated prospect of the draft. I simply don't see why there is so much appeal for Gerald McCoy. And I have a solid argument.
Let's checkout the physical tools in comparison to Ndamukong Suh, who many people claimed was worse than McCoy.
Ndamukong Suh
6'4
307lbs
4.98 40 yard dash
32 bench reps
Gerald McCoy
6'4
295lbs
4.96 40 yard dash
23 bench reps (4th fewest at the combine among defensive tackles)
Okay, clearly, Suh has better physical tools. In fact, Gerald McCoy looked somewhat below average at the combine for defensive tackles physically, showcasing slightly above average athleticism but very poor strength, while Suh showcased very good athleticism and pretty good strength. Next comes the most convincing part the argument
Let's look at the stats
Gerald McCoy
77 tackles
14 sacks
4 passes deflected
1 interception
Ndamukong Suh
82 tackles
12 sacks
10 passes deflected
1 interception
Okay statistically, they are about even, but Suh is a tad better. Oh, wait, I forgot to mention; the stats you see for McCoy are McCoy's CAREER stats while the stats you see for Suh are the stats he achieved THIS SEASON. The fact is Suh amassed more tackles, nearly as many sacks, and double the amount of passes deflected this season than Gerald McCoy could achieve in his entire career at Oklahoma. McCoy showcases below average physical tools for a defensive tackle and he showcases some of the worst stats of all the defensive tackles drafted. So it's now understood that McCoy shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Ndamukong Suh. But, how bad are those stats? Do they look worse because Suh is just a monster? Or do all defensive tackles put up those kind of numbers? Well, let's compare the stats and physical tools to Jeff Owens (pick 243) of Georgia, the last combine defensive tackle to be drafted this year.
Jeff Owens
6'1
304lbs
4.97 40 yard dash
44 bench reps (oddly the most of any player at the combine)
97 tackles
4 sacks
3 passes deflected
0 interceptions
Gerald McCoy
6'4
295lbs
4.96 40 yard dash
23 bench reps
77 tackles
14 sacks
4 passes deflected
1 interception
Is there an issue here? Of course. Owens puts up numbers that are little worse, mostly because Gerald McCoy does put up good sack numbers, but Owens has a little more athleticism and nearly double the strength of McCoy. I am not saying that Owens is underrated or better than McCoy (Owens is way too short, his numbers are still bad, and he has had some injury issues. Personally, I would have drafted Owens in the fifth or sixth round), but what I am saying is that if some person who knew nothing about the draft were to look at those numbers, they would predict that Owens would be drafted maybe a round ahead of McCoy. McCoy is still worthy of a first round pick, for he is a great pass rusher for a defensive tackle, but he was not worthy of the third pick of the draft. In McCoy's defense, he has to compete with better players for tackles, McCoy has outstanding quickness off the ball, he is junior unlike Owens and Suh, and he provides the versatility to do a fine job at the 3-4 end position.  But I probably would have used a mid-to-late first round pick on McCoy instead of a top five pick.
