A draft guy that I know that actually grinds tape on these guys which I can't imagine how much time that takes but he ranked Conerly the #8 tackle in the draft. Here's his writeup

Great pass pro LT. Processes the game fast. Bends well, places hands well. Very fluid kick step. Gets out fast and great in screens or at the second level. Wide base, sets and creates length. Uses angles well to create distance on the initial rush, forces edges out wide. Decent recovery ability. Receives bull rushes well even if he gives up a lot of space, can set and keep fighting. Can get caught in his footwork on shiftier guys. Not that strong, just average. Not really a run blocker at all. Rushes to the corner instead of trying to be fluid with it even though he's capable of it. A bit chicken legged, kind of narrow. Can get handsy when he's beat around the edge and over extends his arms trying to recover instead of using footwork. Extremely deep draft, he's still a top 100 pick. He's a plus pass protector but no one can run to his side and he's going to get took by stronger edges in the league. He's already fat and needs to put on muscle instead of fat. I love pointing out the difference between the Ohio State games for Conerly. You, uh, can tell in the second that they figured out what he sucked at the second time around. He can be a discount LT for you for years. Until you try to run wide zone to his side and realize you’re trapped in gap world forever with him.
