Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley has found himself at the center of a rape investigation, which is causing his draft stock to plummet.
While many expect him to fall several rounds, the Dallas Cowboys are interested in him with the No. 28 overall pick, according to USA Today's Tom Pelissero.
One team not to overlook on Gareon Conley: the #Cowboys. Need corners. Used to risks. Had Conley in for a visit. Also called him yesterday.

Dallas has all but guaranteed that they will pick a defensive player in the first round of the NFL Draft, with many expecting that they will take a defensive end. However, they also need help in the secondary, and Conley was a projected mid-first round pick.
The Cowboys are hoping to trade up for Tennessee defensive end Derek Barnett, but are also targeting USC cornerback Adoree' Jackson.
Conley had 26 tackles with four interceptions and eight pass breakups last season.
