[Bretsky]

Man, he'd be hard to pass on. He stops the run, he can cover, and can blitz. So he drank some water...a player gets thirsty.

Heard he went off at the combine; sounds like he's the type of guy TT avoids...a bad person

[Cheesehead Craig]

oak...conley

Ok, you're posting this shit way before the pick is announced.

[Deputy Nutz]

possible risk, but I think it is worth it for the Raiders.

[Bretsky]

Out of yhat list, give me...

Cook, King, or Foster.

I don't share your man love for King

[Guiness]

well, there it is - Conley drafted. What a ride he's had this week.

edit: listen to them go on about an f'ing lie detector test like it means a damn thing

[Deputy Nutz]

Lie Detector?

Gareon Conley - CB - Ohio St.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Has NFL size with above-average length. Plays long. At his best when playing with inside leverage and trapping receivers against the boundary. Shades receivers with a basketball stance -- wide base, bent knees and wide arms. Creates challenging throwing lanes to target. Allowed just 37 percent completion rate. Press-man talent with zone instincts. Shows discipline and technique on verticals and curls. Matches with his feet rather than grabbing. Senses when his pattern is designed to clear space for another receiver and reacts accordingly. Has plus burst to the throw. Uses length to play around receiver and bat passes down underneath without interfering. Runs well and sinks into receiver's lap down the field, getting his head around to make a play on the ball. Plays the ball with soft hands and outstanding timing.

WEAKNESSES Can be a little tight-hipped in his transitions. Pattern-match was just average when facing off against more advanced route trees. Michigan receivers created separation and some panic in Conley with their inside releases and crossing routes. Got caught reaching and holding in attempt to recover. Will occasionally default to face-guarding rather than turning to find ball. Can be slow to digest route combinations and lose track of his man. Doesn’t look as comfortable or confident in off-man. Plays small in run support and needs to work on consistency as a tackler. Gets driven off his spot by blocking receivers and rarely charges forward to attack near the line of scrimmage.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 1

SOURCES TELL US "He's not as good as the other cornerback (Marshon Lattimore), but he's a good corner. If he measures over 6-foot and runs in the low 4.4s he will come off the board on Thursday night." -- North area scout for NFC team

NFL COMPARISON Aqib Talib

BOTTOM LINE Press-corner with experience at both cornerback spots and an ability to fit into a variety of coverage techniques. He plays with good top-end speed and has the ball skills to challenge and defend passes on any level. He can step in right away in zone coverage, but could struggle to match patterns from a pedal. He will likely be targeted by teams seeking long cornerbacks who can crowd and trail receivers down the field. He has the talent to become an early starter, but he must improve in run support.

[Bretsky]

TJ Watt would be a classic pick for Seattle
But they really need OL help

I don't share your man love for King

I think he is a pussy

I don't share your man love for King

Supposedly Thompson does have man love for King. I guess he's either been at or met with King 5-6 times since the combine. Rumor today even he wanted to get ahead of seattle to take him because he believes seattle will take King.

[BZnDallas]

I think he is a pussy

I've heard that about Conley. Doesn't like contact.

[Joemailman]

Would TT take Cook?
