    i've seen him as of late dropping into our area or should say others jumping ahead and making him fall. could he be a consideration for us? MT was at the buckeye pro day. could he be the one this year that drops in our laps? would we? i would. LOL:smiley1::cool:

    You feel he is falling? Everything I see has the arrow pointing up. Whether it's to be believed or not, he could be a Top 10 or 12 pick.

    I'd take Conley in a second if he did fall. He's a little inconsistent but great tools to work with.

    I think a major factor is how many QBs are going to go before #30. Is it zero? 2? Maybe 4?

    If Conley somehow makes it to 30, that really is the "ultimate" BPA choice.


    His ceiling is ridiculous and his athleticism is one of the best in the draft. Add the fact he has a far better understanding of coverages than his 2016 classmate Eli Apple did and you have yourself a steal.



    Again mac... assuming he is somehow there. Not that I disagree with you because some mocks do not have him even in the top 20 but I do believe he will be top 20; top 25 most definitely.

    Interesting prospect, his visit list is remarkably short which surprised me. Some say he is pro ready day 1, so maybe needs to have him in???? He's only had like one team visits. All the rest were combine or just saw him at the pro day. Just found that odd.....

    see thats what i was seeing. yea top 15-20 talent but a lot of other players moving up. philly is the team most are saying will take him. thats at 14 but ya never know. then i heard dallas and thats at 28. two picks ahead of us. as some have said, it depends on the qb's i think. if philly passes on him i think he could make it down to us possibly. then we would have a tough decision. :cool:

    I saw that as well. Gil has him ranked 11th and calls him a day 1 starter. I watched a couple of his games early on and liked him. I'm just not all that into an outside corner being our 1st rounder. I think weakness #1 with our pass defense is pressuring with 4 guys, and our biggest immediate coverage need is inside. However, if Conley is the pick I won't be bummed out.

    Don't think the Saints @ 11 is in play? I see that as the most likely landing spot. Certainly Philly would have interest as well.

    i've seen many show interest but also show interest in others too. balt, cleve, oakland, philly, dallas, but them also passing for other guys which makes me think he could fall. as i said if the talk is about dallas or oakland we are getting down into our range and a couple of others grabbed by those teams instead of him and boom, he's there. :shrug::cool:
