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.

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

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
