Conley was expected to be a first-round in the upcoming draft prior to the allegations came to light.
But it would be something of an upset if the Cleveland Browns, coming off a one-win season, used the top pick on a quarterback, even though a quarterback has been selected No. 1 overall in five of the past seven years. "The more likely scenario right now would be trying to use that 12th pick and get up a little higher to get the quarterback of the future". Either way, when the Browns make that pick to open the draft, they at least want the player and everyone else to think it's what the team has wanted all along.
A second-team All-Big Ten selection in 2016, NFLDraftScout.com ranks Conley second among cornerbacks and 22nd overall among prospects in the 2017 draft. It's unusual for a number of reasons, but principal among them is the lack of a clear consensus on the best quarterback. Normally, teams don't benefit from earning such a high draft pick when these kind of deals are made, but luckily for the Titans, the Rams struggled previous year by only winning four games, earning them a top-five pick in the draft.
The NFL draft begins Thursday night.
That said, according to ESPN's NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the Tennessee Titans are considering trading away their fifth pick and have received offers.
China welcomes U.S. saying it's open to talks on North Korea
Senator Lindsey Graham said he and fellow Republican John McCain had dinner with Trump on Monday and discussed North Korea. Part of the secret to North Korean success has always been the ruling Kim family's mastery of the art of brinkmanship.
Most people will remember Watson for winning the National Championship in 2017. Betting over that prop then would require one of Texas Tech's Patrick Mahomes or Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer to also be selected Thursday night.
Things appear to be getting serious.
This draft is a unique one, mostly because there's no unquestioned top quarterback. It would make more sense to take Garrett and then O.J. Will it be the player labeled the "best" in the draft or will it be the pride of Mentor, Mitchell Trubisky? Head Coach Hue Jackson has spoken extremely highly of Garrett on multiple occasions with the effect of indicating that he is the player that he wants. The former No. 11 overall pick missed 11 games due to thumb and shoulder injuries.
The Jets are thought to have their eyes set on North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky at No. 6.
