He did?

not really I mean they break it down to OL (not just OTs) on NFL.com and they only one he place top 10 in was 40 yard dash. I like him but not at 7.

Compare him with the other top tackles. For a guy who supposedly isnt very athletic he did better than both Stanley and Decker and many other tackles.

Conklin out did Stanley the #2 rated T in everything at the combine
3 cone 7.63 - 8.03
shuttle 4.57 - 49.0
vert jump 30 - 28.5
40 5.0 - 5.20

Sources Tell Us "That is a dude, right there. He was busting up Ohio State in the fourth quarter of that game not because he was more talented than those guys but because he just wanted it more. He's tougher than old beef jerky. He fits in our division." -- ­ NFC North scout

NFL Comparison Jon Runyan

Bottom Line Possesses top flight size and strength at the tackle position and has the technique and recovery athleticism to make up for his average foot quickness. Conklin went from solid in 2014 to very good in 2015 and teams must now decide whether or not they want to give him a chance at left tackle or plug him in on the right side where he should be able to step in right away and become a quality starter. Conklin has some physical limitations, but he's got solid technique and exactly the field demeanor that offensive line coaches will be looking for.

Good news indeed! Buckner and Tunsil are my revised draft crushes now that Goff is gone.
Buckner or Conklin at 15

this!
AA and Buckner as our two DE's would be freaking crazy. I still think we should go OL but only if we grade one as high as 7. Have a feeling some of the defensive guys grade higher than the 3rd OL which means we take a defensive guy or trade down.

I think Baalke can find Chip's prototype guards in the mid rounds. Buck at #7 would be a safe pick, IMO. Ronnie Stanley's stock is rising and may murk things up at #7.

Buckner at 7 Joshua Garnett at 37 build those lines!

I wouldn't be mad if that's how the first two picks went down. Throw in Dak in the 3rd and the WZ would collectively cream.

Would Rather have Bosa fills a greater need at a position that is weak in this yrs draft unlike DL

You do know Bosa is a DL and a 4-3 DL at that.

I do, so was Aldon, I believe he can become a 3/4 OLB and an OLB is a greater need. In a lack luster draft of OLBs this yr Ill take Bosa 1st and look for DL later the draft that's loaded with them.
