Possible Pick: LSU’s Turner A Powerful Guard Option

[BrAinPaiNt]

(Editor’s Note: Heading into the upcoming NFL Draft, held May 8-10, DallasCowboys.com will take a closer look at the prospects, including some that could be potential fits with the Cowboys. Today’s featured player is LSU’s Trai Turner).

How He Helps the Cowboys: Turner’s best days are still ahead of him, and he could develop into a mauler at the next level with more work on his technique as he grows into his body. He plays a position the Cowboys need significantly more depth in at guard, and Turner has the ability to quickly compete for a starting spot on the line. He may be built more for a power running game than the zone scheme the Cowboys employ, but his 4.93 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine shows that he can get moving when he gets a head of steam. Bill Callahan got to work him out at LSU’s Pro Day, so he should have a grasp on how or if Turner can fit.

I would like him in the 3rd round

a telling sign that Callhan worked him out. wouldn't surprise me if we moved to the bottom of round 2 and took him

might be a little high for him...then again the bottom of the first was a little high for Frederick and it worked out.

He's one guy I fully expect us to take.

Yeah I just hope he makes it to our pick in the 3rd. Either Tuner in the 3rd and I'll be happy actually. Billy or Trai.

I think he'll be there. Lots of good players on Rd 2 and 3, so I expect hell still be on the board

Back when I was doing my OG writeup, he was ranked as a 7th by NFLDS and most other analysts. In my analysis I was proclaiming him to be drastically underrated. The very next day they moved him up about 100 spots and now he is being talked about as early as the 2nd.

You can't win as a draftnik. If you're correct about finding a bargain for your team, then he moves up and is no longer a bargain.

Sorry. That's probably why I have not released my DE analysis.

100% agree. Big fan of both and think one of the two will be there in R3 for sure. Would really like either as great depth and guys to develop into "plus starters" in a couple years.
