3rd?
At least we know he's definitely a great blocker?
Gonna have to be the second after that combine performance, that's one of the best ever.

I think it would be awesome to bring Conley to the Bay Area, home of Skywalker Ranch and the Letterman Digital Arts Center, after reading that he is a Star Wars nerd, and actually made a 26-minute long Star Wars film called Retribution, set on the Georgia campus (it has cameos by Mark Richt and Todd Gurley, and Conley plays the villain):

The film is linked in that article, but here is the direct Youtube link:

It's pretty damn good, actually, and the storm trooper at 11:56 had me cracking up and pumping my fist. If you're a Star Wars nerd you'll know why.

Maybe the NFL will let him have a facemask that comes close to the Khari Vion mask he wears in the film?

many of the most twitchy are just not durable or able to use most of their speed all game, week in and week out because, physiologically, they have little endurance. it's the nature of fast twitch muscle fibers.

it's the reason a non-twitchy guy like jerry rice was so good. he had durability, thus he could, over time, apply an huge training volume to his body and get results that allowed him to run fast for four quarters over the whole season. yo, it's science.
This kind of thing happens every year at the combine...guys light it up, then they don't turn out to be great pros. Conley's combine performance was notable...but is he really the kind of WR who can make a difference. The answer in my mind is we really don't know. Agree w/SD, don't get ahead of yourself on this guy. A great combine doesn't necessarily equate to a guy Baalke should draft.

im thinking he should still be a late round guy but someone will probably use a 3rd or 4th for his potential. I wouldn't. I would use a 6th on him and maybe (big maybe) a 5th if we haven't picked up a WR yet.
A 5th/6th rounder.

this.

year and year out people overreact to combine results. Stephen hill (including myself) or martavis bryant.
there is a reason why certain players are ranked low pre-combine and there is a reason why they picked low in despite of a great combine.
usually the reason is: NOT a very good football player and/or no potential to become one in the (near) future.

though, in my mock draft-thread a member provided some arguments why conley could be an assumption to this rule.
