ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Paul Guenther had his own draft ranking sheet last spring, and guess who was at the top of the then-Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator’s list when it came to cornerbacks?
That should not be much of a surprise, considering Conley was seen in some corners as a top-10 pick before allegations of sexual assault arose the week of the draft (charges never came). He fell to the Oakland Raiders at No. 24 overall.
The Bengals did not draft a cornerback until the sixth round -- Houston’s Brandon Wilson at No.
