Why aren't we hearing more about Chris Conley?

The guy is only athletic in a straight line, vertical and broad jumps. Look at this 3 cone and shuttle numbers.

That's what this offense needs. We could do worse in later rounds.

Other than catching and the ability to break cleanly off the line and in the routes, straight line speed and an explosive vertical are arguably the most important things.

"A sleeper wide receiver who a lot of teams are hoping continues to go under the radar is Conley. A lot of attention has been paid to the first-round receivers, and Conley is a player who has an early-round skill set, but will be available in the mid-rounds. Conley (6-2, 213) commanded that NFL teams take notice of him with his tremendous 40 time at the Combine of 4.35 seconds. ... Conley is a sleeper pick who could be a mid-round steal in the 2015 NFL Draft."

Greg Gabriel, who was a scout for Giants 1985-2001 before spending 9 years as Director of College Scouting for the Bears (2002-2010):

"The problem I have with evaluating Conley is that you don’t see those (impressive combine) numbers on tape. ... I felt he played more like a 4.50 type.

...

(in his Combine workout), the only time that was disappointing was his 20 yard shuttle which was 4.30.

...

I was a little disappointed in his ability to get off a jam consistently. Once free of a jam, he can break down going into a cut, but I don’t see top explosion coming out of the cuts (slow 20 yard shuttle).

...

He is still very much a developmental player in that he needs to become a better route runner and also has to improve his release. After a period of learning, I see him as a player who will be a much better pro than he was a college player. It just won’t happen right away.

...

Conley has very good hands and always catches the ball away from his body. He tracks the ball well and can adjust to the poorly thrown ball. After the catch, he is a good runner.

...

Overall, Conley’s traits are outstanding, and because of that, he will get drafted high."

"I think the Justin Hunter comparison is semi-close. Conley is not as tall as Hunter and I think that Conley is a far better natural hands catcher and route runner ... Conley has natural, soft hands ... he has above average talent for locating, tracking, adjusting to, and high pointing the ball to win contested catches. ... needs to refine his route running ... His route running needs improvement... he will have to work on techniques to gain separation if he is to be consistently productive at the next level. ... In the right system and with the right coaching I think Conley has the potential to be a solid WR #2 in 1-3 years."

I bet you want Coates early.

Some people have no idea.

 

I don't want Coates at all.  He played in an option offense where he was almost always single covered. I don't really have a preference with receivers this year, I just don't think that Conley is the answer.

He's put up minimal stats in a pretty run heavy Georgia offence and that's why he's not in many conversations. 

 

Rather than watch his highlights, watch his play by play on Draft Breakdown, he does have some real athleticism and his hands aren't bad. Definitely worth a look but some scouts will be iffy because of his lack of college production (which I think has minimal bearing on NFL potential).

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
