I don't think anyone outside the front office would have imagined we were going there. There were a lot of surprised folks out there and I was certainly one of them. We value the RAS score highly and Turner has all the measurables to be good. He didn't have an injury history before coming here. Neither did Pete or Armstead. Hence the new conditioning coach after a record number of replacement players last season. Everyone could see the writing was on the wall.

I'm pulling for the front office to draft a tackle in the first round. You win in the trenches and our drafting history indicates that doing this helps the QB and RB proliferate. We have had one of the best O-lines and D-lines in the NFL in recent memory thanks to first round picks on the big uglies. Yes, we missed on Pete and possibly Ruiz, but our line coach is going to change things up to suit their skills best. I read somewhere where he will change the blocking scheme in the offseason.

But yeah Chris, give me a WR with the first pick all day. No matter how good the defense is, gotta be able to put points on the board.
Yep. I don’t care which one honestly. We need to get faster though so I lean toward Olave or Jameson Williams (and no I don’t care about the injury.)

A similar conversation came up with Burrow 2 years ago.

Didn't seem to hurt his production (fumbles/throwing ability in bad weather) though.
