Payton Turner: How Do you like the Pick?

Our FO scouts DEEP and thorough for players and there is always a reason. I have been saying for a while that I have a feeling we are going for athletic, high motor RANGY defense. I think more a "less thinking/more attacking" D is in the plans. It has been a "gut feeling" for a few months now. This solidifies it, IMHO. Long armed, rangy attacking defenders. The NT position will not be the standard, big body, lane clogging guys, they will go for smaller, strong, athletic guys who CAN set the nose but everyone else will be concerned of undersized/underweight for prototype NT. Of course, Turner will not be asked to play nose, but it is a nod to where we are going with defense. He is good inside and outside and instinctual player. Jordan needs some pressure off of him for him to have more production, as well. Richard as CB coach will be looking to field aggressive corner play. We will not be a GW blitz every down defense, but a more athletic, attacking defense with faster, strong, rangy players than we have had in the past. The defense we are trying to field is the defense that gives us fits...good containment on the perimeter and speed to the perimeter. I hope the players can have solid, disciplined gap responsibility since won't have as much BIG BODIES to clog, but again...if simpler, "pin your ears back and go" scheme...I am excited about that. On paper, I LOVE it! I don't have the injury concerns some do. 6ft6 and big wing span, 270? Geez. A lot of taller guys can have their height work to the disadvantage, but he seems to work his leverage very well and can muscle through. I am in between "LOVE IT" and "TO SOON TO TELL"! How about a sub-category of "I am intrigued and optimistic". He wouldn't have been taken in the 1st if he wasn't scouted hard and a "vision for the player".
