Dallas Turner (DT) for this generation will be synonymous LT

Rich_Houston_1971 : 4/19/2024 10:52 am
for my generation. DT is who the Giants should pick at 6. IF it wasn't for the emphasis on Today;s offensive production and the need for QB's, this guy would be the #1 pick in the draft.

have you seen the tape on DT? I have not seen a guy get to the QB that fast since LT. This guy is going to be very very good.

I like Turner but this is an insane take

Can we please stop LT comparisons, they are always terrible  
SteelGiant : 4/19/2024 11:00 am : link
I see a pass rusher

What about his game is going to change the game forever.

The closest thing I have seen to LT would be Aaron Donald. And that is also a bad comparison. But Aaron Donald did make an impact on future roster construction because he was labeled undersized, now everyone is going for some undersized pass rushing DTs

But there is nothing here that reminds me of LT.

Take a walk outside. Get some fresh air.
I doubt he is better  
section125 : 4/19/2024 11:03 am : link
than Jared Verse, seriously.
He wasn't even the best EDGE rusher  
Big Rick in FL : 4/19/2024 11:08 am : link
on his own team for 2/3 of his college career. Will Anderson was the better player. Let's stop the LT comparisons (I am a fan of Turner)

Who has never taken an NFL snap to LT, it is time to take a deep breath, apologize to the board, and then delete the thread.
Reasonable take  
The Dude : 4/19/2024 11:10 am : link
will definitely spur great conversation!
He looks good....but LT...no way.  
George from PA : 4/19/2024 11:12 am : link
LT was bigger, fiercer and probably faster.
I'd rather address another position  
Giantsfan79 : 4/19/2024 11:20 am : link
And wait and see if the rumors the Cowboys are on the outs with Parsons are true, rather than locking in with Dallas Turner.
if anyone wants to bet  
Giantsfan79 : 4/19/2024 11:25 am : link
I take the side that in his draft coverage when discussing Dallas Turner, BB will not invoke LTs name other than to may e say DT is not as good as LT. If you think he'll make that comparison let me know.
Shame on you for calling yourself a giants fan  
Mattman : 4/19/2024 11:30 am : link
And comparing someone to LT
Gross  
Blueworm : 4/19/2024 11:32 am : link
So he's going to reshape the athletic profile of his opposing offensive player AND force the development of a new position (H-back)?


Think before you post.
Some players change games.  
Pete in MD : 4/19/2024 11:33 am : link
LT changed THE game.
You fellas just meeting Rich for the first time?

Hard to compare

An exciting young talent to one of the all time greats.

Understand why you like Turner’s potential, I think he’s got a chance to be special. BBI posters will not be kind to this over the top take; let’s just say if we didn’t need QB so desperately I wouldn’t be upset with Turner around pick 10. But yeah, you may want to express your positive take on the prospect a different way.

Congratulations!!

You win the most ridiculous post of the year award!

He has started being a little more lucid as of late. Must have relapsed.
Ha, no

Blasphemy
And I got about a minute in, saw a nice highlight and heard “I’ve been waiting to call his name all game”….

Dave on the UWS : 4/19/2024 12:28 pm : link
whether at him or away from him, LT disrupted the play.
Turner has been run over so many times he makes the coyote in the Road Runner cartoons look tough!
As good as LT?????

Cheech d : 4/19/2024 2:06 pm : link
There have been many pretenders but still no player has become the next LT.
Dallas Turner isn’t anywhere in LT’s class.
They should pose that question to Bill Belichick during the draft show he’s doing with Pat McAfee.
That should be good for an incredulous look from BB.
Just saying don’t sleep on DT  
Rich_Houston_1971 : 4/19/2024 2:08 pm : link
We may not have a chance on the receiver we want in this draft. The Giants normally draft best player available and at 6 that player could be DT as the first defensive player off the board. I normally am very skeptical about rookies but this kid has hall of famer potential
There's already a player  
santacruzom : 4/19/2024 2:09 pm : link
who is going to be as well-regarded by the current generation as LT was in his. Sadly, he plays for the Cowboys.
Also, IIRC there has never been a draft where a defensive  
Rich_Houston_1971 : 4/19/2024 2:11 pm : link
Player has not been chosen within the first 6 picks.
Hey Rich  
JonC : 4/19/2024 2:11 pm : link
Remember, negative attention is not good attention!

I'd be happy to pick Turner, but let's keep some perspective.
I'm with you Rich except for the LT stuff.  
mittenedman : 4/19/2024 2:12 pm : link
I like Turner a lot more than some. Having a 3-headed ER group like Burns - Thibs - Turner would make this team competitive almost single-handedly.

A great pass rush is the next best thing to having a great QB.

Ageed!! you are correct!!!
No he won't

He's a realistic target if they trade down IMO  
j_rud : 4/19/2024 5:00 pm : link
Silly comparison aside he's a top player in the draft and they had him in for a 30 visit. Given how Schoen discussed trade down options if they can't land their QB of choice a trade down becomes somewhat palatable.

I mean, think of that proposed Denver trade. Not hard to argue they'd still go O, especially if the trade netted a starting CB like Surtain. But it's still a possibility IMO. Dex, Okereke, KT, and Turner along with Surtain and Banks outside is a true identity.

And you left out Burns.
