Raiders use 1st pick on embattled cornerback Gareon Conley

By MICHAEL WAGAMAN
Associated Press

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said his staff did extensive research on Gareon Conley before using the 24th overall pick in the draft on the talented but embattled Ohio State cornerback who has been accused of rape.

"We did our due diligence throughout this whole process and we trust our research, the reports, everything that we have on Mr. Conley," McKenzie said. "I don't want to get into all the details but the bottom line is we've done miles and miles of research to make sure we were totally comfortable with our decision, which we were."

Conley said he took a polygraph test earlier Thursday and is scheduled to meet with police Monday.

"I'm very confident that it will be resolved," Conley told reporters during a conference call after the first round of the draft. "I took a test today that helps, and when I make my statement and with all the evidence that I have, I feel confident that it will be resolved."

McKenzie said that Conley was "hands down" the best available player when Oakland went on the clock. Coach Jack Del Rio called it a happy moment for the Raiders organization.

Conley, 21, seemed like a lock to be selected early in the first round until earlier this week, when it was revealed that he had been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Cleveland.

He has called the allegations "completely false" and no charges have been filed as police investigate. Conley was named in a police report that details the allegations but no information has been forwarded to prosecutors.

"It's been real emotional but I got through it," Conley said. "I just kept my faith strong and kept listening to my mom, my agent and my support and kept my head on straight."

McKenzie sounded confident the situation will be resolved.

"The research was done," McKenzie said. "It wasn't just a gut (feeling). It was based on research. We are very confident in the information that we gathered."

An attorney for Conley has said that his client was willing to meet with detectives and agreed to give a DNA sample to counter the sexual assault claims.

Despite obvious needs at defensive tackle and middle linebacker, McKenzie and Del Rio instead opted for a talented player who was projected to be a top 15 pick before his stock took a hit.

"A really talented corner that's capable of playing man or zone," Del Rio said. "Been well-respected by the people that I've spoken to personally about him. A guy that loves to compete, good teammate and really a quality kid. He's got great length, great speed. One of those really clean players that we were fortunate to get our hands on late in the first round."

Conley started every game over the past two years at Ohio State and allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete just 37 percent of their throws in his direction. The 6-foot, 195-pound junior had six interceptions in three seasons including four in 2016 while playing almost strictly on the outside.

The pick addresses Oakland's lack of depth in the secondary. Starters Sean Smith and David Amerson had up-and-down years in 2016 and the Raiders don't have much behind them. Oakland also has a hole to fill in the slot after declining to pick up the option year on DJ Hayden's contract this offseason.

Smith struggled in his first season with the Raiders and could be expendable depending on how quickly Conley adjusts to the pro level. Smith, who was benched in Week 1 and was a constant target on the NFL's 24th-ranked pass defense, is due to earn $5 million in base salary in 2017 and could make another $4.25 million as a roster bonus.

Hayden was the last cornerback the Raiders drafted in the first round and the very first first-round pick made by McKenzie after becoming general manager. Hayden was the 12th overall pick in 2013 but was hindered by injuries and missed 19 games over four seasons in Oakland before the team cut ties with him this offseason.

Houston Texans trade up to get QB Deshaun Watson

By KRISTIE RIEKEN
AP Sports Writer

HOUSTON (AP) -- Deshaun Watson is the newest quarterback for the Houston Texans.

For now, the two-time Heisman Trophy finalist is also a backup.

The Texans addressed their need at the position by trading with Cleveland to select the Clemson standout with the 12th overall pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night. They traded away the 25th overall pick in this year's draft as well as their first-round selection next season to nab Watson.

The Browns already have Houston's second-round pick in 2018 after receiving it in the trade for Brock Osweiler this offseason. Houston was in desperate need of a quarterback after giving up on Osweiler and trading him away one inconsistent season after signing him to a $72 million contract in 2016.

Before the draft, Tom Savage and Brandon Weeden were the only quarterbacks on the roster. The Texans insist that they're OK with that.

"I don't know if people believe us but we're comfortable with Tom Savage as our quarterback," general manager Rick Smith said.

Coach Bill O'Brien agreed, adding: "As a rookie quarterback it's a big jump. Tom is our starter and Deshaun will come in and he's going to work hard and we're going to teach him and feed him a lot of information and he'll work at it."

Watson seems prepared to do whatever the Texans ask of him.

"All I need to do is put my head down, don't say anything, learn from all the veteran guys, learn from Tom Savage, learn from Brandon Weeden and just play my role," he said. "Whatever role that is play it well and help the team win."

This is the first time the Texans have selected a quarterback in the first round since taking David Carr with the first overall pick in their first season. They've had a revolving door at the position in recent years, starting eight different players since 2014.

In Watson they get a player who threw for 4,593 yards and 41 touchdowns last season to lead Clemson to the national title. He had 28 wins in his last two seasons and helped the Tigers to consecutive appearances in the national championship game. Watson went 32-3 in his career as a starter, which is the best winning percentage for a quarterback in school history. He finished his career third in Atlantic Coast Conference history with 12,094 yards of total offense and threw for 10,163 yards and 90 touchdowns in his career.

"One of the things that stood out to me was how well he played in clutch moments, in big games, in games that really meant everything - national championship games, big ACC games, the guy came through," O'Brien said. "When the chips were down he was able to lead his team to victory. And I think that says a lot about a quarterback. In the end, one of the things that we always look at is is the guy a winner and this guy is a winner ... I don't think anyone can argue with that."

He joins a team featuring star receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who also went to Clemson. Hopkins, Houston's first-round pick in 2013, expressed his excitement about the pick by simply tweeting a smiling face emoji soon after he was selected. Hopkins was asked about the possibility of Watson joining the Texans a couple of weeks ago.

"We haven't talked, but we have mutual friends. I still have cousins that play at Clemson," Hopkins said. "So, I'm pretty sure he would like to throw me the football."

Watson is looking forward not just to playing with Hopkins, but with everyone on a team that has won the AFC South title the last two seasons.

"I'm very excited not just to play with DeAndre ... but to be able to play with all the guys and have that defense and just be able to get in there and start working," he said.

The Texans will add two more players on Friday with the 57th overall pick in the second round and the 89th pick in the third round.

Jaguars draft Fournette to 'put the ball in the end zone'

By MARK LONG
AP Sports Writer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Tom Coughlin wanted more offensive playmakers in Jacksonville. So it was no surprise to see him grab one of the best in college football over the last three years.

The Jaguars selected LSU star running back Leonard Fournette with the fourth overall pick in the NFL draft Thursday night, giving Coughlin the bruising back he craves in his return to the floundering franchise.

Fournette is expected to provide an immediate boost to one of the league's worst offenses and take some pressure off struggling quarterback Blake Bortles.

"He's special," said Coughlin, the team's executive vice president of football operations. "We need playmakers. We need people to put the ball in the end zone. We need to do something about balance. We need to do something about creating a better situation where the quarterback doesn't have the entire game on his shoulders. Certainly we have to improve the offensive line. Certainly we have a lot more work to do."

Fournette is a solid start. He ran for 3,840 yards and 40 touchdowns in three seasons in Baton Rouge, despite missing five games with an ankle injury in 2016. Fournette also opted to skip his bowl game in hopes of being healthier for the NFL combine.

It turned out to be a smart decision since he covered the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds at combine, more than fast enough for a 230-pound back.

"A lot of people think I'm a big, bruising guy who can't make anybody miss if I don't run them over or hit them or anything," Fournette said. "I have a lot to show this season coming up - and I will."

Fournette averaged 6.2 yards a carry in his college career, providing must-see highlights on a weekly basis. He ran over linemen, made linebackers look silly and outran defensive backs.

The Jaguars have rushed for 13 touchdowns the last two seasons - the second-fewest in the NFL in that span - and five of those were by Bortles. So running the ball better was a priority for Coughlin, general manager Dave Caldwell and new head coach Doug Marrone.

Fournette's arrival means Chris Ivory and 2015 second-round pick T.J. Yeldon are headed to the bench.

The Jaguars gave Ivory a five-year contract worth $32 million in free agency last year. The deal included $10 million guaranteed, more wasted money for a franchise that has won just 17 of its last 80 games. Yeldon has two years remaining on a four-year deal worth nearly $6 million.

The Jaguars picked in the top 10 for the 10th consecutive year, and in the top five for an NFL-record sixth straight year.

They botched a number of top picks along the way - defensive end Derrick Harvey (2008), quarterback Blaine Gabbert (2011) and receiver Justin Blackmon (2012) among the worst - but seemingly hit with cornerback Jalen Ramsey a year ago.

Jacksonville can only hope Fournette plays as well as Ramsey did as a rookie.

Coughlin and Caldwell said they had four players targeted for the No. 4 spot: Defensive end Myles Garrett, defensive tackle Solomon Thomas, Fournette and safety Jamal Adams.

Fournette filled the biggest need since Jacksonville addressed most of its defensive holes by adding defensive end Calais Campbell, cornerback A.J. Bouye and safety Barry Church in free agency. Those moves freed up the front office to go heavy on the offensive side of the ball in the three-day draft.

It started with Fournette.

"We want to be able to run the ball, take care of the ball and be physical and tough," Caldwell said. "This guy is all of that. ... One of our guys said it best: We're on the road on Saturdays, watching late-night SEC games before our game and this is the guy you're watching on TV every Saturday night and you're like, `Wow, this guy is going to be the first pick in the draft.'

"You knew from the time he stepped on campus at LSU that he was going to be a special player, and usually those guys tend to do very well at our level, too."

The Jaguars have two more picks Friday, Nos. 35 (second round) and 68 (third round). Look for them to continue to bolster the offense or add a defensive lineman in a draft considered deep at that position.

49ers get Solomon Thomas, extra picks in 1st round of draft

By JOSH DUBOW
AP Sports Writer

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- John Lynch came out of his first draft as an NFL general manager with two of the top three players on San Francisco's board and a couple of extra picks to boot.

The rookie general manager would have had a hard time scripting the day any better. He traded down one spot to No. 3 to get Stanford defensive lineman Solomon Thomas and then packaged one of the extra picks from that deal with his own second-rounder to get Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster at 31.

"We got two of our top three players," Lynch said. "We're thrilled. We're ecstatic. We think these guys have traits that encompass what we want to be about as a football organization."

The trading started when Chicago wanted to move up one spot to select quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. With other teams interested in that pick, the Niners were able to get extra picks in the third and fourth round this year and a 2018 third-rounder and still draft their second-highest rated player in Thomas.

"There were other people involved," Lynch said. "The trade improved the last day because of that."

Then when Foster started slipping possibly because of concerns about his injured shoulder and off-field character issues, San Francisco started making calls midway through the round to get an additional first-round pick.

They were finally able to move from 34th to 31st by sending the fourth-round pick acquired from Chicago to Seattle and added the Butkus Award winner to their defense. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Foster's play jumped off the film every time he studied Alabama's defense.

"No matter who I was studying and watching, No. 10 was flying around passing everybody up," Shanahan said. "No matter who I studied. I had a hard time not watching No. 10, which was Reuben. The way he plays, the way he hits, the way he runs, that's why you want him on your team."

But Foster was hurt by a shoulder injury that he said should be fully healed by training camp, as well as off-field issues. Foster was kicked out of the combine over a confrontation with a hospital worker and had a diluted drug test sample, turning him from a projected top 10 pick to one that almost didn't make it in the first round.

"They gave me a chance," Foster said. "I really appreciate the 49ers. I'm ready to go hard and work hard and prove I'm worthy of the spot. They're not going to regret it."

The 49ers sent VP of football affairs Keena Turner and team pastor Earl Smith to Alabama to meet with Foster and came away convinced that he was not a character risk.

There were no off-field questions surrounding Thomas, who was the third straight defensive lineman taken with San Francisco's top pick, following Arik Armstead in 2015 and DeForest Buckner last year.

Lynch, as a Stanford graduate, is quite familiar with Thomas. He has spent time around the program in recent years and even took a class on decision-making with Thomas where they collaborated on a project.

"I was star struck the first day of class," Thomas said. "I tried to cling on to him, learn from him. It was a really cool experience to be in class with him."

Thomas said the two kept in touch since then and now he wants to make Lynch proud as his first draft pick ever as a general manager.

Thomas has the versatility to play outside on the base defense where he is an elite run stopper and inside as a pass rusher in nickel situations. He had eight sacks and 15 tackles for loss last season at Stanford when he was named the top defensive lineman in the Pac-12.

Thomas has been compared to Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett and is expected to play a similar role in San Francisco under coordinator Robert Saleh, a former assistant for the Seahawks.

"We're both very versatile," Thomas said. "We're quick. But I have to earn my stripes before I even get compared to him. I have to play my first down, earn my stripes from my teammates and earn their respect. That's what I'm trying to do right now."

Bears trade up, take QB Mitch Trubisky with No. 2 pick

By ANDREW SELIGMAN
AP Sports Writer

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -- Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace made a stunning and bold move to trade up for the quarterback he wanted.

He caught just about everyone off guard, including Mitchell Trubisky.

The Chicago Bears drafted their latest quarterback of the future in a shocker Thursday night, grabbing North Carolina's Trubisky with the No. 2 overall pick after trading up a spot with the San Francisco 49ers and surrendering three draft choices to do it.

"I think it shows that they believe in me," he said. "And I believe in what Ryan Pace and Coach Fox are doing in Chicago, and I can't wait to be a part of it."

There was some thought the Bears might wait a round or two before taking a quarterback after signing Mike Glennon last month to replace the departed Jay Cutler. That couldn't have been more wrong.

The Cleveland Browns decided to grab Texas A&M defensive standout Myles Garrett rather than address their biggest need for a long-term quarterback. Pace decided he couldn't pass up the chance.

The price for Trubisky was high, with San Francisco getting the Bears' No. 3 pick, a third- and fourth-round choice this year plus a third-rounder next year. It was a surprising move, particularly since San Francisco general manager John Lynch was ready to take Stanford defensive lineman Solomon Thomas at No. 2 anyway.

"Kudos to the Bears," Lynch said. "I give Ryan Pace and John Fox credit for making a courageous move and we're thrilled with what we got out of it.

Pace said he couldn't afford to wait even one pick. Teams looking for a quarterback were calling him about the third overall choice so he knew they were also looking to move into the No. 2 spot. Lynch confirmed the 49ers had other offers.

"I didn't want to sit on our hands and have some team jump us or have it not work out," Pace said. "When we were this close, within reach of a player that was all really valued, I didn't want to sit on our hands and risk not getting that player."

The 6-foot-2, 222-pound Trubisky said had little contact with the Bears leading up to the draft. The Bears did see him at the combine and at his pro day.

Pace, coach John Fox and several assistants also had a private workout with him in North Carolina last month. They put Trubisky through individual drills and had him drop back from under center to pass to receivers, a different skill for a shotgun quarterback.

Trubisky made just 13 college starts, all in a breakout junior season last year. He set the single-season the school's single-season record for yards passing (3,748), touchdowns (30) and total offense (4,056) in 2016. He ranked fifth in the country with a 68.0 completion percentage while throwing just six interceptions. He also ran for five touchdowns last season, after backing up quarterback Marquise Williams as a freshman and sophomore.

Even so, it was a surprising move for the Bears. And it showed just how serious they are about solidifying a traditionally weak position for the team over the years.

"When Ryan Pace in Chicago went up into 2 and took the quarterback, that surprised a lot of people, I think. ... There were other positions that we thought they might be drafting," said Saints coach Sean Payton, who knows Pace from his time in New Orleans' front office.

The Bears finished last in the NFC North at 3-13 in their second season under Pace and coach John Fox. Years of shoddy drafting combined with a long list of injuries exposed a glaring lack of depth. It all added up to Chicago's lowest win total since the 1973 team went 3-11, the most losses since a 1-13 finish in 1969 and a busy offseason for a rebuilding team.

The Bears dumped Cutler after eight seasons and signed Glennon, giving them some leeway to wait on a QB. But Pace jumped at the opportunity to take Trubisky, though he did say Glennon is the starter.

For how long?

"No timelines on that," Pace said.

Whether Trubisky is starting in Week 1 or in 2018, his development will go a long way toward defining Pace's tenure. The Bears are counting on him, with his arm strength and quickness, to lock down a position that has historically troubled the franchise.

"Going to come in and learn as much as I can from Mike and the other veterans on the team. I mean I'm always going to compete and do my thing and push the guy in front of me and my teammates as well. When given my opportunity, I'm looking forward to take full advantage of it. It's all about helping the Chicago Bears win and that's what I'm looking forward to most."

Trubisky ranks fifth at North Carolina in career passing touchdowns (41), sixth in yards passing (4,762) and seventh in total offense (5,201). He is the first quarterback drafted in the first round by Chicago since Rex Grossman was selected 22nd overall in in 2003.

There's no doubt the Bears need to hit in a big way with Trubisky, given the mixed results with Pace's first two first-rounders - oft-injured receiver Kevin White and promising linebacker Leonard Floyd.

"I hope everybody's excited about it," Pace said. "The most important position in all of sports is quarterback, and I don't think you're ever a great team until you address the position and you address it right. I think everybody should respect that. We're addressing the quarterback position, we're being aggressive with that position because it's the most important position in sports."

The Bears might look to fill a need on defense - perhaps at safety or on the line - in the second round on Friday. They own the 36th overall pick.

Browns get defensive, draft Garrett at No. 1 and pass on QB

By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- The Browns didn't mess around with the No. 1 pick. They didn't find their franchise quarterback either.

Convinced that Myles Garrett was too good to pass up, Cleveland wasted no time in taking the consensus best player in the NFL draft with the first overall pick on Thursday night.

And although their biggest need remains a long-term answer at QB, Texas A&M's defensive standout should help one of the league's worst defenses.

Selecting the 6-foot-4, 272-pound Garrett was smart and safe, something the Browns haven't always been on draft weekend.

But while the pick of Garrett was expected, the Browns caused some head scratching by passing on a chance to select Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson at No. 12. Instead, they traded the pick to Houston for the No. 25 pick and used it to grab Michigan's all-purpose defensive dynamo Jabrill Peppers, who fills hole at safety and on returns.

The Browns weren't done, sending the No. 33 pick to Green Bay for No. 29 and taking Miami tight end David Njoku, a physical playmaker who scored eight touchdowns last season.

Cleveland became the first team to make three picks in the first round, but not using any of them on a quarterback was a surprise.

"We obviously value the position, but we don't want to force certain positions," vice president of football operations Sashi Brown said. "Obviously we have guys here on the roster and we want to give them an opportunity and we will continue to look, but we wanted to make sure we got players we felt good about. We've got a lot of holes to fill on this roster, so this is just about making sure when we get the quarterback it's someone that we all believe in and get behind and move forward."

Brown didn't rule out taking a quarterback in this draft, and said it's possible the team could bundle its many assets to trade for a veteran QB.

"We won't rest until we solidify the position," he said.

The Browns had their eyes on North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky, a local kid who grew up a Cleveland fan, but he was surprisingly selected at No. 2 by the Chicago Bears.

This wasn't supposed to be a strong quarterback class and yet three were chosen in the top 12 - not by the Browns, who are already set for next season with two first-round picks and three second-rounders.

"It's not like we didn't try," coach Hue Jackson said. "We're going to do everything we can to find one."

In Garrett, the Browns have found a dominant player capable of changing a game with a sack or punishing hit.

Unlike many of the top picks who were in Philadelphia walking the red carpet and hugging Commissioner Roger Goodell on a stage in front of 70,000 fans, Garrett was with family and friends in Texas when he received a phone call from the Browns.

"It was really just a weight off of my shoulders to finally just get the announcement that what I have been working for is finally come to fruition," said Garrett, who wore a Cleveland T-shirt that said "The Heart of Rock `N Roll." "I can actually know where I am going, know who I am going up against and know the schedule. Now, it's time to put in that work so I can be prepared to go against the best."

Garrett recorded 32+ sacks during his three seasons with the Aggies. He joins a Browns defense undergoing a major makeover. The team hired former New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams - of "Bountygate" infamy - this winter and signed linebacker Jamie Collins to a four-year, $50 million contract, locking up a player they can pair with Garrett to form their defensive foundation.

Cleveland ranked 31st defensively last season and was 30th in sacks with 26.

Peppers played some offense for the Wolverines, but Jackson said the 6-foot-1, 205-pounder will be at either free or strong safety. He's one of the nation's best return specialists and Jackson is excited about getting the ball in his hands.

Peppers may have turned off some teams after testing positive for a diluted sample at the scouting combine. He blamed the failed test on overhydrating for a cramping problem and said he didn't have to persuade the Browns he was clean.

`"I really didn't have to convince anybody of anything," he said. "My character speaks for itself. People can speculate on what they want. I am putting that behind me now."
