Just stumbled across this article  by Tony Pauline of Draftanalyst.com

He raves about Gareon Conley:

4) In my opinion, Gareon Conley showed Monday why he’s going to be the steal of the cornerback position. His film was better than teammate Marshon Lattimore’s during stretches last season, and several people I spoke with this afternoon feel he’s a better player than Eli Apple, the 10th pick of last year’s draft.

But he's not quite as high on Lattimore: 

5) Conversely I feel that Lattimore is overrated and a risky pick. He’s a superior athlete to Conley but comes with a thin body of work, a long injury history and, in my opinion, lacks the refined ball skills of his teammate.

The rest of the article is about players who are not Buckeyes (yawn). 

Actually, I thought  it was kind of an interesting read.  I'm becoming more and more convinced all three of the early departures from Ohio State's defensive backfield will go in the first round -
