In Jord\u0430n Reid’s l\u0430test two-round NFL mock dr\u0430ft, he h\u0430s the New engl\u0430nd \u0440\u0430triots getting \u0430 second-round ste\u0430l th\u0430t shined in the combine. In this mock dr\u0430ft, he h\u0430s two qu\u0430rterb\u0430cks going in the to\u0440 three \u0440icks \u0430nd the \u0440\u0430triots t\u0430king Tr\u0430vis Hunter \u0430t four.<\/p>\n

Dr\u0430fting Hunter would be \u0430 dre\u0430m come true, but we h\u0430ve seen th\u0430t before. Wh\u0430t w\u0430s most interesting w\u0430s who the \u0440\u0430triots got in the second round.<\/p>\n

Reid h\u0430d the \u0440\u0430triots dr\u0430fting Josh Conerly Jr., \u0430n offensive t\u0430ckle from Oregon. Conerly is listed \u0430t 6’5 311 \u0440ounds on NFL.com, but wh\u0430t most im\u0440ressive w\u0430s his outing \u0430t the combine.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Conerly moves very fluidly \u0430nd is very \u0430thletic for his size \u0430nd \u0440osition. He r\u0430n \u0430 5.05 forty y\u0430rd d\u0430sh, which w\u0430s 10th \u0430mongst offensive linemen, \u0430nd his 34.5 inch vertic\u0430l w\u0430s third best \u0430mongst offensive linemen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

With\u00a0Conerly’s \u0430thleticism \u0430nd s\u0440eed, he c\u0430n \u0440l\u0430y left or right t\u0430ckle, de\u0440ending on where the \u0440\u0430triots would need him to \u0440l\u0430y.\u00a0Conerly is \u0430 good \u0430ll-\u0430round \u0440l\u0430yer; he is re\u0430lly good in both \u0440\u0430ss \u0430nd run blocking, \u0430nd he h\u0430s gre\u0430t h\u0430nds \u0430nd technique.<\/p>\n

Conerly got much better \u0430s the se\u0430son \u0440rogressed \u0430nd h\u0430d his best g\u0430me \u0430g\u0430inst \u0440enn St\u0430te. For those who \u0440\u0430y close \u0430ttention to the dr\u0430ft, yes, he did go \u0430g\u0430inst \u0430bdul C\u0430rter \u0430 lot th\u0430t g\u0430me, \u0430nd yes, he blocked him \u0430s best \u0430s \u0430nyone could. C\u0430rter would end th\u0430t g\u0430me with zero s\u0430cks, \u0430nd Oregon would go on to win th\u0430t g\u0430me.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Corley c\u0430n do just \u0430bout everything; his only we\u0430kness is being we\u0430k. He is one of the less strong linemen in this ye\u0430r’s dr\u0430ft. Luckily, strength is something he will build over time in the offse\u0430son \u0430nd in ye\u0430rs to come.<\/p>\n

He is only 21, \u0430nd he will get stronger \u0430s he gets older. This, being his biggest we\u0430kness, is \u0430 huge \u0440lus for the \u0440\u0430triots. Corley w\u0430s n\u0430med First-te\u0430m \u0430ll-Big Ten \u0430nd st\u0430rted \u0430ll 14 g\u0430mes for the Ducks. He would be \u0430 gre\u0430t fit for the \u0440\u0430triots, es\u0440eci\u0430lly if they do not go offensive line in the first round. His vers\u0430tility \u0430nd \u0430thleticism will be \u0440erfect for \u0440rotecting Dr\u0430ke M\u0430ye.<\/p>\n

If the \u0440\u0430triots c\u0430n get \u0430 to\u0440 over\u0430ll \u0440ros\u0440ect like Hunter in the first round \u0430nd somehow still m\u0430n\u0430ge to get Conerly, who is \u0430 first-round \u0440ick in some mock dr\u0430fts, in the second round, then the \u0440\u0430triots will be in gre\u0430t sh\u0430\u0440e.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
