Draft Rewind 2014: Trai Turner, Carolina Panthers

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about TRAI TURNER: LSU, 6025 310 4.93. Two-year starter. A stout and athletic right guard after a redshirt year in 2011. Thick upper and lower body. Explosive and powerful knee bender with long arms (34”) and strong hands. Athletic in his movements when pulling and folding around to seal the edge. Works to finish his blocks. Will lock on and drive the defender over the pile. Plays square and with good balance in pass protection. Keeps his hands inside the defender’s frame and flashes an explosive punch. Effective cutting off backside pursuit on the second level. Physical player on line and on the second level. May struggle with inside pressure at times. Good lateral quickness to cut off movement and penetration. A guard only type player who play with a good base and balance. More of a smash mouth run blocker at this point than a pass protector, but has all the tools – base, balance, and knee bend. Lacks the length to play outside at tackle. OSR:12/40. Second/third round. (A-34, H-9 1/2, BP-25, 10-1.78).
