Covid is NOT an injury. He missed TWO games.

I agree. Dav did not ask for 2 first round picks to be burned on him. And this kid didn't ask to follow Dav. This staff has found some D line hidden gems. After the shock of not knowing who this kid is relative to the other prospects on the board then, I am willing to cut them some slack on Turner.I love how some think we should never draft another athletic DE ever again because, you know, Marcus Davenport. Lol
Longtime posters are turning themselves into trolls with their reaction to this draft class. Two words: relax, breatheDamn near carbon copy of Davenport, even down to the injury history. He’s got longer arms. It’s somethin I guess. Boom or bust in my opinion. He won’t be average.
I see what you’re saying but I think they are slightly different. Turner has more bend and finesse than Davenport. Davenport uses more power.I'm just surprised after what we have had to endure with Davenport not coming through or being able to even get on the field at times, that we would put a first round pick on the exact same kind of player. Hoping it turns out well. Again.
Davenport had 1.5 sacks and 12 total tackles last year.I see what you’re saying but I think they are slightly different. Turner has more bend and finesse than Davenport. Davenport uses more power.
But even if you think they are the same why not have two guys who have size and can rush the passer instead of one
Everyone knows our pass rush was much more effective when Davenport was in the game compared to when he was out. Yeah he had a year that didn’t meet expectations but he was still a force out there. With more playing time he should have more production this year.Davenport had 1.5 sacks and 12 total tackles last year.
Picking up his 5th year option is strictly a function of giving up 2 first rounders to get him, not his performance to date.
You do realize there's no way we could've offered Hendrickson a contract anywhere close to the one he signed with the Bengals, yes?I hope Turner turns out a HELL of a lot better than Davenport. Yall do realize that we let Hendrickson walk and he had 13.5 sacks, Cam had 7.5 and the waste of a pick Davenport had 1.5?? If Turner is equal together they'll get to 3 sacks... awesome. Seriously, I'm pulling for him but he better be much better than Davenport to justify the pick.
You must've forgotten that Davenport was dealing with a lingering lisfranc injury. That's tough for a pass rusher. He definitely lost a step, but he still had a very high pressure rate and pass rush win rate, and our defensive line as a whole took a huge step forward when he returned to the lineup. His 5th year option had nothing to do with what we gave to acquire him. He's a really good player, still with potential to be elite. He just needs some luck with staying healthy.Davenport had 1.5 sacks and 12 total tackles last year.

I didn't notice it being much more effective with Davenport. Have you tracked the stats with and without him?Everyone knows our pass rush was much more effective when Davenport was in the game compared to when he was out.
