Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’ll appeal to man-blocking teams, and he’s a fairly high-upside developmental pick when considering his value in the run game.
- Exhibits good patience in pass protection, sitting back in his set rather than leaning and lunging.
- Plays with natural leverage and has the strength to anchor against the bull rush. Turner also packs a violent initial punch that can stand up pass rushers.
- Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and Turner displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks
- In the run game, he explodes off the line of scrimmage and consistently gets out to the second level to do damage.
- Finds defenders with his hands immediately and gets feet moving to engage and sustain.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Could be a liability against speed-to-power pass rushers early in his career.
- His size and athleticism are both limited. Orlosky is not a great blocker in space, often struggling with quickness on the second level, and Turner lacks the range to be used as a puller.
- Lacks the pure power to knock people back at the point of attack. In pass protection, he’s going to have trouble with top-end quickness, as he often struggles with leverage and balance when trying to mirror.
