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

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

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

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
