Dallas Turner started the NFL Draft process as the clear favorite to be the first defensive player hear his name called, but the pre-draft process has closed the gap between Turner and the rest of the field.
Turner is still projected to be in consideration to be a top 10 pick, but the mix of offensive focus at the top of the NFL Draft board and team preference around this position has led to the SEC Defensive Player of the Year to see his stock somewhat slide as we arrive at the NFL Draft on Thursday evening.
Turner is viewed as a sure-fire prospect, but there aren’t many avenues to hear his name called to go under this total, but he still has been viewed as a contender to be a top 10 pick.
