Gio, Conner, and Rex would be a very solid, perhaps not spectacular, group.  The overlap between skill sets could really help keep the defense from feeling confident in knowing what's next. Gio (very nimble pass catching)  Rex (nimble pass catcher, somewhat power), Conner ( some nimble pass catcher, very powerful).  I like that a lot more than a simple speed/power  1/2 combo.

I can tell you that this guy will likely end up a steeler and could be the next bus if we don't take him.  I am really liking the idea of this guy in the 3rd.  Use the first to slide back, get additional picks, get a guy like Taco Charlton, a Guard, and an OT and you have the makings of a very good couple first days.

What I like most about Conner, as a player, is he ISN'T the one-trick pony you would think he would be at that size.  He is quick, and has great hands out of the backfield.  Kind of like Marcell Reece in his prime.
