Gareon Conley breakdown. I wouldn't mind him in the 1st at all. |

I like his size and arm length. I like his combine speed. I don't like that his NFL.com draft bio indicates that he is a bit slow to recognize and match patterns in man coverage. I think that except for Lattimore, the Colts will pretty much have their pick of CBs now that Sidney Jones will tumble down (how far? Who knows?). NFL.com has the following grades on the top CBs: 6.5 Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State 6.5 Sidney Jones, Washington (torn ACL; out for 2017) 6.1 Marlon Humphrey, Alabama 6.0 Tre'Davious White, LSU 5.9 Gareon Conley, Ohio State 5.9 Teez Tabor, Florida 5.8 Adoree' Jackson, USC 5.8 Rasul Douglas, West Virginia 5.8 Cordrea Tankersley, Clemson Any of those guys could be 1st or top half of 2nd round picks. Humphrey looks more like a zone guy to me. I like White as a man corner but his run support skills are lacking. Tabor has too much inconsistence for me. If we pick a CB in the first round (assuming Lattimore is off the board), then I think Conley is probably the best fit for us. Cheers,

Raekwon McMillian gets talked about a lot in here for our 2nd round pick as an ILB, but does any/everyone like him better than Jarrad Davis?
I like what I see more from Davis, here's the scouting reports: Jarrad Davis: Quote:

And while it's possible that Jarrad Davis will just go significantly higher than Raekwon McMillian, I'm not sure that's a sure thing. Matt Miller's latest Mock has Jarrad Davis going one spot ahead of us in the 2nd round and then us coming away with McMillian. If we get to around 2.10 and Davis is still available (and assuming we went pass rush in the 1st round, and arguably even if we didn't), then I'll be screaming for Ballard to trade up: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ock-draft-more Again, we need to get FASTER as a defense. Having slower ILB's that can't cover is what we DO have. I'll need to be sold on McMillian, I'm just not seeing it on what he does for us. |

Once he's blocked by an O-Linemen, he usually stays blocked. It's mostly due to bad technique and leading with the wrong shoulder though.. That can be coached out of him. |

Do you disagree with their assessment that McMillian lacks some speed? I'm more of an SEC fan, so I'll confess to not having watched tons of McMillian. Do let me know what you think on Davis, I don't review tape or watch too closely/analytically, but like I said, I do watch SEC and I'd love to have some of that Florida speed on our defense. Grigson must've gotten the only slow guy from that D in Antonio Morrison last year. |

Hopefully Ballard can identify good CBs later (or Jones falls to the 3rd). |

He's excellent in coverage, looks like he has speed and is willing to take on blocks. But that's the end of the positives. He really knocked Cam Robinson back on his heels when taking him on, early in the Bama game. His instincts and overall play making in the running game are almost non-existent though. I wouldn't draft him earlier than the 4th round. |

So if it was a nagging injury that's now healed, that is something to keep in mind. Then again, there's something to be said about being leery of guys hitting the rookie wall, and if it's a guy that ran out of gas in college, that might seem like a prime candidate. The fact that he is so good in coverage and has speed kinda does it for me though. I'm really sick of our defense being too slow and our LB'a being unable to cover as a result. I feel like he'd be able to inject some of what we badly need the most. |
