Not dinging ONL at all.... but I'm convinced that we were all ready to take Shemar Turner from A&M in the 2nd, and then the Bears snagged him right before we were on the clock.
If you recall, we were on the clock for the entire length of the time (felt like even longer), which made me think we were either A) sitting there discussing which player to choose, which means they did not immediately have ONL tee'd up as "the guy", or B) entertaining trade back options OR actively shopping to get it done.... ultimately failing to do so and settling for ONL.
Then, both in the Day 2 presser and in Nutt's presser yesterday, they alluded to the fact that there was a fall-off after ONL at the position. Which sort of indirectly says "he was the last guy we had ranked at that tier for that position group." Which further implies the guys before him were ranked above him...
In R2, the DT's that went were: Sanders (41), Collins (43), then Turner (62) and ONL at 63.
I wonder how much of a gap in grade they had between Turner and ONL. It will be interesting to compare Turner to ONL and see how it plays out over the next couple years.
