I like Conley more than I did, he's a valuable piece. But at this price, not at a free agent price.

Everyone wants Julio Jones.
They see someone like Harry and think he's as quick as a small fast guy but can also dominate jump-balls.
I don't agree. And I think such a creature is just damn rare. Those guys come along every 5 years or so at best.
Like you, I'll take the flying circus approach; gimme 3 waterbugs that can pressure every area of the field. But the key to that working is still having a powerful RB and a pass-catching TE that can operate in the red zone.
For teams that don't have that, someone like Conley might be damn valuable. FGs are becoming akin to stops in the modern NFL so if you can find someone to significantly improve your red-zone efficiency, that's worth what it costs.
Someone will see that guy in Conley, IMO. It just ain't me....
