10. Landon Turner, G, North Carolina
Height: 6-3. Weight: 330. Arm: 32.88.
40 Time: 5.58.
Projected Round (2016): 4-6.

4/26/16: Sources said that Turner didn't impress them when they scouted him. Turner is solid on the inside, but is limited to playing in the phone booth. He is sluggish and a waist-bender rather than having the preferred style of being a knee-bender. Turner isn't especially athletic or strong either.

8/15/15: Turner started off 2014 well, but strained an MCL and missed the games against East Carolina and Clemson. He has some athleticism, though he could use more power for the NFL.

Turner started 12 games at left guard in 2013 as the replacement for Jonathan Cooper. While there was a drop-off from Cooper, Turner wasn't bad. He has a combination of strength and athleticism. Turner was better as a run-blocker, but his pass protection improved as the year went on. Turner flashed when he saw the field as a redshirt freshman in 2012, starting four games. Turner has upside to rise.

Said it before and I'll say it again. I could give 2 Shittttts if he's a phone booth. We need a stout lineman to keep the interior of the line from collapsing so Brees can do what he does best, move up in the pocket.

I think I'm most intrigued by Avery Young, but Turner has as good of a shot as any.
