SKULL SESSION: DRE'MONT JONES AND NICK BOSA GRADE OUT NATION'S BEST, JEREMY RUCKERT IMPRESSES AND GAREON CONLEY'S COMEBACK

CONLEY COMEBACK. People forget that Gareon Conley was a lock-down corner a year before Denzel Ward and Marshon Lattimore really even saw the field in a meaningful capacity.

Conley's had a tough time in the league with nagging injuries which cost him most of his rookie season, but he's feeling good and ready to roll as the Raiders head into the second week of the preseason.

From Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review Journal:

“I’m feeling good,” Conley said Friday after the Raiders’ 16-10 win over the Detroit Lions. “I’m ready to be back. It’s been a long time since I’ve played. I’m anxious to do it.”

The 2017 first-round pick participated in position drills before the exhibition opener. Afterward, he monitored the action from the sideline, doing his best to communicate with teammates who played and also take mental reps, envisioning how he would react to certain scenarios.

“Mentally, I’m still going over the calls and fine-tuning everything, helping people out with what I see, acting like I was out there,” Conley said. “I put myself in their shoes. … It’s hard, from never being hurt in college and then to get hurt last year and feeling real good the first day and getting hurt.

“It really helped me (having) a lot of coaches and teammates who were telling me to stay positive. They haven’t been pressuring me or anything, making sure that I’m healthy.”

I've always maintained that Conley, while not quite the athletic freak like Lattimore, would have a lengthy NFL career with his consistency and versatility. I'm stoked for him to finally be healthy and prove me right.

Brownies will take him. Send Gruden a 3rd rounder. He's a chump for it and we need a #2 CB.

Buckeyes for days!

I’d like to take a chance on Conley with the Browns but if you look at the picks that get dealt in NFL trades, a 3rd rounder for a CB who hasn’t excelled or established themselves yet is way steep.
Should be able to send a 5th or 6th for him if OAK is really ready to move on from him.

yeah we'd bite on a 6th or if you have somebody who is way past their prime we'll take him, too.
