Alabama edge defender Dallas Turner isn’t the biggest, strongest, or most technically sound edge in the draft.
He is, however, the most athletic, and that alone is enough to make him interesting to NFL teams. What makes Turner one of the top edge defenders in the draft is that he’s also strong enough for his size and has pretty good technique to harness his athletic traits.
The New York Giants have reinvested in their defensive front as the emphasis shifts there from the secondary in Shane Bowen’s scheme. Could that convince them to spend their first round pick on Turner?
