I'm asking this not so much because he likely won't be there come round 2 IMO but rather if we think he's a future LT, does that make him 28th pick worthy?

I have only read great reviews about the kid and he can possibly play at a foundational position for an offense in the NFL.

Whatsayyou? 

 

edit: probably too much of a curve to be 28 worthy.  60, yes

Thinking he might be there at the end of the second, maybe not, but this is out on Cyrus now, so he might be there at the end of the second.

 

Cyrus will be a good RT, Turner a possible LT

 

(9:00 AM): No follow-up medical for Tide OT ... Jason LaCanfora of CBS sports is reporting that Alabama OT Cyrus Kouandijo will not require a post-combine medical recheck in Indianapolis. There have been reports that Kouandjio had been failed on some team's medical exams at the combine because of a potentially chronic knee issue stemming from an injury early in his Alabama career. However, according to LaCanfora did not fail physicals and in fact his knee is clean and will not require further testing. Kouandjio is still to be considered to be a potential first-round pick this year although he is more of a late-rounder coming off avery disappointing combine in which he barely broke 5.6 runnin the 40.

It all comes down to how GMs view Turner as a LT. Do they feel he will be a good LT in the NFL. If the answer is yes, than he is most certainly 28 worthy. 

 

I like Turner a lot and would have no problem with him at 28. In fact I kinda want us to draft him at 28 because I am scared he will be scooped up by the end of the 2nd.

Star Redux. It would be amazing if this happened for us again.

Thinking that these grades were from late February and he is just starting to update the end of March grades (did DLine a day or so ago), but he has Bitonio and Turner projected as a Guard at the next level.

 

Nowhere close to a 1st rounder either.  Don't kill the messenger.

Dude is projecting Turner (who has question marks on his run blocking and lower body) as a guard. 

 

That is all I need to know lol. 

 

Turner screams LT about as loud and clear as one can.

Turner should easily be there in the 2nd. Could possibly be there in the 3rd.

 

Not sure about that. 

 

If any GM views him as a quality starting / immediate impact LT he will be be gone by the end of the 2nd. 

 

After people put him under a microscope and see his size, quickness, and tape I frankly would be surprised if no GM felt the above.

I love Turner but I dunno about 1st round. Seems like getting a pass catcher would be worth risking losing Turner in the mid 2nd. If Turner is taken before us, there's still a few OTs that are worth a 2nd that should be there (Moses, Cyrus, maybe Bitonio or Mewhort, Juwan James, Richardson)

Turner is bigger than Armstead. I see Turner going in the 2 round. 

 

With his size and quickness some team is gonna bite. 

 

Yep, 2nd round sounds right. There's a lot of OT prospects in the draft, but a lot of them are better suited on the right side. Guys like him and Bitonio may be in demand sooner rather than later.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
