I found some interesting things about McCoy after the combine also:

According to CBS' Charley Casserly, the consensus at the Combine was that Gerald McCoy is a slightly better prospect than Ndamukong Suh.
Suh had more college production in a read-and-react scheme and easily had a better Combine, but NFL evaluators apparently still think McCoy offers more upside. "It's a little more McCoy 1A and Suh 1B," said Casserly. "I ask two questions: Who's the better athlete and who's the better pass rusher? McCoy comes up more often than not as the yes guy there."

According to FoxSports.com's John Czarnecki, Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo would select Oklahoma DT Gerald McCoy if the draft was today.
Spags apparently feels strongly enough about McCoy that the rest of the front office would go along the pick. Fans of Sam Bradford in the organization will have to wait for his pro day in late March to build momentum. If Bradford is able to allay doubts about his shoulder, we still believe the Rams will end up going quarterback at No. 1. Mar. 2 - 6:46 pm et

I guess it depends on who you ask, but some teams are very very high on McCoy after the combine, so I really don't think he's played himself out of the #2 spot.

He might have kept himself at #1 even, if Spags really likes him. Good news for the Lions, having to take Suh :P.

If they trade down I'll throw a tempter tantrum
