RUMOR: San Diego RB Michael Turner for a 2nd round pick

[Spectre]

BuffaloBills.com beat writer Chris Brown is "hearing" that the Chargers are willing to part with Michael Turner for an early second-round pick.

It was believed earlier this offseason that Turner could only be had for a first-rounder, so it's possible GM A.J. Smith has lowered his asking price. The Texans, Browns, Bills, and Falcons could have interest.

Get on this, Jerra.
Is there really a surer thing in the 2nd round of the draft than Turner?

The answer is no, there is not.

Its most likley for an early 2nd rounder .....

Meaning...bad teams only apply who have low 2nd rounders

 

[zrinkill]

What?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

who? .

 

[Spectre]

True.

Still, I'd give Julius and a 3rd or 4th rounder.

Turner is a complete RB with exceptional power and speed.

Don't watch much football, do ya?

I'll be honest, I don't know much about him as I haven't seen him much, but I have a bad feeling about other team's backup runningbacks.

Would be easy to miss Burner Turner. I mean, it's not like you tune in and see him playing a lot. You see LT.

He is good but I would not sign him for a second unless I could move JJ.

But this guy is behind arguably the best in the league right now ....

Actually, LT usually had 100+ yards and at least a TD last season before halftime.

Turner ended up relieving him for the entire 2nd half of many games and they never even lost a step in the running game.
He is very good.

I'm not too keen on trading premium draft picks for relatively unproven backups

San Diego has a very good line, that TE, damn, his name keeps escaping me, opens up the middle of the field very well, and he's coming off the heels of LT wearing the D down

That's a good observation. Certainly worthy enough to start bidding for his services.

Antonio Gates.
And yes, it's true, they have a RB friendly scheme and personnel over there.

But this guy averaged 6.3 a carry last season and managed to put 500 yards on only 80 carries.
