Getting the quarterback without having to move up too far in the draft is a solid result for the Vikings. It may not be the quarterback they originally wanted, but it's still a solid prospect to build around and he's walking into a great situation.

Expert Commentary
Turner’s draft slide officially comes to an end with the Vikings trading up to get him in an effort to replace Danielle Hunter. Turner isn’t a finished product, but he’s a rugged defender that managed to run a 4.46 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. He’s got the potential to be a dynamite edge defender in the NFL.
