    He is going to beast it! Loved the pick- attitude with the frame to back it up. What is not to like?

    From everything I've read, Conklin is consistent and not making a lot of rookie mistakes. Sounds good to me. Now if he and the rest of the line can just get their **** together and win in the trenches, this team can move toward winning some games. The line has been a huge problem for so long it's ridiculous.

    Conklin is certainly getting a lot of praise from the coaches.

    Can anybody who has been to camp verify that he is actually appears to be as dominant as is being reported? I sure hope he plays this well in the regular season games against the 1's of opposing teams.

    It's hard for me to forget that we gave up a good bit to trade back up to get him. The cynic in me suspects there might be a bit of hype to make sure JR/Mulky look good with what we gave back up to get him.

    If he plays better than the scrubs we have had for years it's totally worth giving up a pick to get him.

    The guy on reddit has training camp reports that have been linked here in training camp threads and has pointed Conklin out as dominant in every one that I've read. So I don't think it's just coach/media hype. Not saying he's a probowler or anything but it sounds like he consistently does his job...which is exactly what we need out of him.

    The biggest thing Conklin will do for us is make Warmack better. He's gonna look much better this season. Doubt we resign him though lol.

    I was at the stadium Monday night and Conklin held his own. What we need to worry about is the interior still. Spain got dominated several times by Casey and Warmack got abused on one play by Blackson really bad. Lewan and Conklin were both solid though, which is encouraging.

    No shocker there.....Warmack sucks....as does Spain. I can't believe we didn't address the LG position this off season, still pisses me off.
