The Raiders are hoping the reward surpasses the possible risk.

Oakland selected Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley on Thursday with the 24th pick in the NFL draft.

Conley is dealing with rape allegations, which is likely why he slipped to the Raiders. Conley, who has not been charged, denies the claims.

Here’s how social media is reacting to the pick.
