KRUNKuno Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Transitioning away from all the pass rusher mumbo jumbo. This class is also deeeep at wide receiver. This deserves discussion considering Roddy's age, Julio's oft-injured seasons, Hankerson's inconsistency and injuries, Hester's lack of polish, and Weems being more of a special team's ace.I think 3 guys could help us add more dimension to our receiving corp. I'd be satisfied with either.Chris Conley, 6'2" 210, 4.35 speed- His combine put him on the map, but Conley has been quietly producing for UGA for quite some time. His size makes him an easy candidate to play on the outside, however, I'm not sure how he'd fare in a slot role. Very reliable hands, makes the spectacular catch regularly and makes it look easy. I think a team may jump on him earlier than expected. I'd take him in the 3rd without hesitation. http://youtu.be/P4fbcN54bOQTyler Lockett, 5'10" 185, 4.4 speed - Lockett is a lunch pail kind of guy. He's going to give you 110% at all times, and shows a level of toughness that is hard to match. Not flashy but has shown he can play any receiver position even at 5'10" 185 lbs. In fact, most of his career was played on the outside. Broke all kinds of records at KSU, and was easily their best offensive weapon. Not a true burner, but can stretch the field with ease. Great hands, but body catches a lot.http://youtu.be/qty2tue7tQY Phillip Dorsett, 5'10" 182, 4.3 speed - Dorsett is a board favorite around here and for good reason. He's a blur and a terror in the YAC category. Shifty, but his best quality is his ball tracking ability. Field stretcher that will outrun any defender.http://youtu.be/svH6HkmS_sA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-TowN.- Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Personally, I like Justin Hardy more than Conley. But Lockett is a great route runner and Dorsett is explosive. Hardy reminds me of Steve Smith in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardy reminds me of Steve Smith in a way.My favorite is Tyler Lockett. He just gets the job done. I would tune into KState games just to watch him (and some linebacker who's name is slipping me), and Lockett would always jump off the screen. As it stands now, I am really loving Conley. This is coming from a Tech fan. I think Matt Ryan will like him more as well, too. Matt seems to like bigger receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Love all these three, agreed. Will be happy getting any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putnam6 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Could get on board with any of those 3 WR's love Dorsett's speed he is probably #1. have to watch more from Lockett but sounds like perfect fit. Like Conley too and he will probably be there in the later rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobeit Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Watch Conley run routes they are not that polished but he looks so natural and fluid. He was my 3rd rounder in my mock. I think he ends up a draft steal and I think he will do well in this offense. IMO he would be a 2nd rounder but he scared some folks a bit at the combine with some drops that do not show up in games.

Clark Kent™ Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Dorsett, Lockett, ConleyBasically 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round options. Maybe Lockett goes in the mid-late 2nd or Conley mid-late 3rd. WR class is deep so who knows. I kinda like Vince Mayle in a late rd. I know his combine was crap, but i like his tape. Dude is strong with the ball in his hands.

YoungHeezy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Conley played a lot smaller than 6'2 210 at UGA to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I like Conley the most TBH. I like the other two about equally and almost as much as Conley. YEESH! I like a lot of UGA players. Closet fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kung-Pow Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Conley worked his way to a second round selection. He was productive when healthy and his combine measurables and performance was well above average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby.Digital Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Dorsett wouldn't be a good fit here. He excels very deep down the field and Matt Ryan lacks zip on his long throws which seem to hang a long time. Dorsett would be an awesome fit in Baltimore with someone like Flacco. I actually think Rashad Green from FSU would fit in nicely here. Great route runner who can play slot this and next year then take over for Roddy the following year. At worst your getting an awesome slot receiver. He should also be there in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballfan Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Conley is one player that has too many drops. We already have a few of those guys on the team. Lockett on the other hand seems to use his hands to catch. The Falcons are in real need of a guy that will catch the ball reliably, and then be able to outrun someone.

uga_falcons_braves Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 My favorite is Tyler Lockett. He just gets the job done. I would tune into KState games just to watch him (and some linebacker who's name is slipping me), and Lockett would always jump off the screen. I think the LB you may be talking about is Arthur Brown, who now plays for the Ravens. Dude was a beast in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uga_falcons_braves Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The thing that I like about Conley is something that doesn't show up on his highlight reel. This kid is tough as nails. If he didn't play in a game, then trust me he must've been hurt pretty bad. The guy played his entire senior season with a bum shoulder, but never missed a game. He's a lunch pale type of guy and that's bc he's been underestimated all of his career bc ppl would talk more about his future as a broadcaster than they would about his future as a football player.He's had a solid 4 years at UGA. But I'm a Lockett fan too. You throw Lockett in the slot and you have yourself a true weapon. The guy is fearless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanat0s Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Of those three, I'd go Connelly. I believe he could be a much better pro than college player. He's also a top notch man. Still, Hardy is my choice if we could land him in the third. That kid has all the tools to be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Dorsett and Lockett are my top choices. Dorsett being the first. I went back and watched some of his games and i shortchanged him. He is a very capable blocker and has great ball skills. Meaning he tracks the ball in the air at an elite level. I would take him in the second if Stephone Anthony isn't available.

ATL_DirtyBirds Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 An under the radar WR that has great speed and ability is Shane Wynn. He ran a 4.35 40 at his pro day. He will likely go undrafted and reminds me like of a Wes Welker or Julian Edelman. Would love to give this guy a shot to prove himself here. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HYYAL5FM-T0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) I expect us to go Edge rusher/ILB/ and either S or OG in 1st 3 rounds.....if any of the WRers you mention are still there in round 4-5 (I especially like Conley, a very intelligent high character young man) then sure, grab them, but otherwise, we need to stay focused on our true biggest needs, and WR is not an immediate need at all, we can address it in 2016 draft.
