4) Landon Turner
Experience: Senior
Height/Weight: 6-4/330 LBS
Projected Round: 2nd/3rd
Career Summary: Four-year starter at right guard; 41 starts in his career; 2015 First Team All-American
Landon Turner comes out of North Carolina as potentially the best player on the Tarheels, who won the ACC Championship. Recognized as an All-American his senior season at right guard, Turner has a chance to compete for the starting job with Garcia right away.
Turner is viewed as a player that still has a lot of upside, which is rare, because he has already accomplished so much in his career at guard.
The biggest area of concern, specifically for the Broncos, would be his lateral movement and fit in a zone-blocking scheme. Turner has proven he is a tremendous run blocker, imposing his will on defenders by using his strong lower body, but many question how well he can move and get to the second level due to his athleticism.
While schematic fit can certainly be important, Turner has proven that he can be coached. Turner has always been a great run blocker, and last year he significantly improved in his pass blocking.
If Turner is still available in the third-round, the Broncos may pull the trigger on him, as he could bring a lot to this offensive line.
