Suamataia
6'4-5/8", 34-1/4" arms, 326 lbs, 10-5/8" hands, 5.04 40, 1.74 10 split, 28" vertical, 9'2" broad, 31 reps
vs
Conerly
6'4-5/8", 33-1/2" arms, 311 lbs, 10-3/8" hands, 5.05 40, 1.71 10 split, 34.5" vertical, 8'7" broad (arm length is debatable; pro day is 34" and probably more accurate than combine)
The guy who played better, looked smoother on tape, and did it against better competition happens to be Conerly, too.

For the record, my opinion on Conerly was lodged prior to the combine. I watch a ton of B1G football and I watched him all year. I've said it several times - he kind of reminds me of a poor man's Rashawn Slater. He's obviously a little smaller, you can see it on tape. But he's smart and has good technique.
I'm not against taking Conerly at 31. I'm absolutely against trading up for him.
