On Arista 7280*R* series routers, if you are seeing high # of CoppSystemEgressTrap drop in the output of "show cpu counters queue", the most likely reason is that, there are some packets size are larger than the egress interface configured size.

Basically when the LCs are not ready and up, the Fabric modules don't know where to forward the packets, they will drop them and increase this counter. It is quite common during system booting up.
