I like having the 3 4's, I think we can get a couple of solid defensive players there and our RB. I would love to see Luck with a Great O.Line, if he has all day to throw we will dominate. It's not a sexy pick but Lamp is my guy at 15.

I know it's a bitter pill to swallow but I'll take Lamp as well. If we go this direction,  every other pick made thereafter will be more valuable.  Sounds a little weird but, I'd we address this need, then it will allow everything else to fall in place,  with an option to select BPA.

I wouldn't be upset at all though if we did Draft a CB or Pass Rusher but I want to protect Luck as much as possible while we have these high picks. If we lose him we are screwed.

I am taking Lamp at 15 and calling it a day lmao. Luck would love the pick and I would too. Build that O.Line wall! It's a great pick like Kelly was and a safe pick. We can draft Defense Rounds 2-4 with Pass Rushers and CB's.

Unless Haason Reddick is available.

This stuff happens every draft where just a few days before the draft, some big allegation is reported about a high draft pick. It's coming down to the need to have these athletes requiring a signed consent form to have sex or sex like acts before moving forward. If it's found true, he deserves to be dealt with by the law, if found to be false, the woman accusing rape needs severely punished equally. 

 

She hasn't committed a crime to be punished.  Unless she makes the accusation to the police (which she is refusing to do) she could go on national media and laugh about how she totally screwed this guy out of millions of dollars by lying about a rape and the law couldn't touch her.  

 

She could maybe be open to a civil suit but she probably doesn't have that much money to go after in the first place.

Boy, you'd think there was a team out there spreading, rumors trying to get first round talent to drop into their laps.

 

Maybe a team without a first round pick.

 

Maybe a team that's used to playing the draft board.

 

Maybe a team that you're used to looking at sideways.

 

Hmm.

Here's the police report:

Sounds a little odd to me.  So this Brooke woman just decided to go ditch her friends and go hang around some random guy she met in an elavator??  Stuff like this ticks me off on both ends, why would this woman be so stupid and why would Conley even attempt to do something so stupid days before the draft??  The whole situation just sounds flat out odd. 

 

Thanks for posting the PR!

Just happened a couple weeks ago. She went to police the night of. 

I don't believe she has done anything since though. No charges have been filed and she has not spoken to police since as far as I know, unless it just hasn't been reported. Two things you would think would happen immediately following the incident. The kit should also be tested by now as well which potentially proves his innocence (or guilt since he said nothing happened when something could have, consensual or not).

As I said in my second paragraph she might be open for a civil suit, which is what slander is but the problem there is that the law can only take what she has from her and it's unlikely to try to leave her indigent in the process.  

 

So if she has very little then very little can be taken.  And Conley could never recover the millions he lost by being knocked down in the draft.

Sometimes they do get assaulted, it happens. I`m not saying it did or didn`t happen. However, the superstar status can have its advantages. See QB on TB.

well if she went on national TV bragging about making up these allegations, then she'd absolutely be opening herself up for a civil suit...not just "might be" or "could be".  Just quibbling over semantics I guess...just thought the wording of "could be" was a bit funny. :) lol

I personally think it's irresponsible to try to judge the situation ourselves, since we don't have enough information. I'm only commenting because the insinuation is that the girl waited until the week of the draft to report this, and that's not entirely accurate.

As to an actual crime, he may not have done anything wrong but his decision making is pretty well awful.  

 

And while this is on-going, I think it pretty damn tactless / tasteless to suggest that she is only about the money.

Yep. She even went to the hospital and had a kit done on her. You don't go through all that humiliation without at least something have happened (consensual or not). Plus in many states those rap kits are backed up for years for testing. Unless Cleveland has worked through their logs then it could be a long time...certainly longer than weeks to get test results back. No way to know before the draft. Bad situation all around unfortunately. I'm afraid this could be another situation like Collins from a couple years ago. Certainly I can't understand how he could still go in the first rd with all this surrounding him. Kinda stinks because I know a lot of people on here liked his prospects. I'd imagine he will be off our board all together if this can't be quickly refuted. Edge and LB look more and more appealing at 15. Its still a deep board for corner but in that top 15 range I'm not sure unless someone falls to us I wouldn't just wait for day two to grab out of that second tier which should still have a bunch of quality players. I haven't read this whole thread but I wonder who the other guy was...if Lattimore as some suggest he might see a tumble too out of association.

What were Bill Cosbys?  Brock Turner?  And a whole host of others.   It's still irrelevant.

Did Bill Cosby or Brock Turner's colleges lie about how smart they were just to get them enrolled and keep them qualified?  I wasn't aware of that.

 

Even if Conley didn't rape or even have sex with the girl, the events leading up to the climax (or not) are troubling enough.  I guess that's why several GMs are "questioning is judgment" (you know, that's just a PC way of saying they think he's dumb)

 

Conley, sex; Foster, drugs; and Brantley, violence.  In the past month, we've experienced a trifecta in non-college-material "college students" displaying the extremely low aptitude of not being able to control some of the most primitive urges during a short time when it is THE most important time for their future.

 

If they can't control them now, when can they?  At least Mixon's urge-control problem is three years old when he was quite young.  It takes a certain amount of intelligence for a person to understand their situation and a level of discipline to control their urges.  Generally, a level of both are required to be a successful independent college student.

According to the victim: 

 

Gareon: "Hey, want to have a foursome?"
Victim: "no, but I'll come with and watch the other couple do it"

 

Seems legit to me

Yep.  The whole truth has yet to be known.

 

So, at one point he was charming enough to get her up to a hotel room and to be lying on the bed with her, but then switched into being rude and kicking her out.  Golly, what happened to make him switch his personality?

 

And this was what we get from reading Conley's friends account.

Well I guess we will find out in the coming weeks whether he did or didn't for sure he will slip out of the draft with that one Shawn Oakman last year did something like this right before the draft last year he went undrafted and nobody picked him up and nobody has heard of him since. so it is possible I guess that Conley did it too.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
