The 2017 NFL Draft is set to begin in just over 48 hours. There are a lot of players that are hoping to have their names called on Thursday night, and one of them was Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley. The Buckeyes star was one of a trio of Ohio State defensive backs that were expected to be in the running for top 25 picks. In fact, Walter Cherepinsky of WalterFootball.com recently mocked Conley to the Redskins at No. 17 overall.

Conley was generally considered to be the third best among the group of Ohio State players, but some actually preferred Conley to his teammate, cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
