Analytics project Vikings rookie to be most productive from 2024 NFL Draft
The Minnesota Vikings seem to have struck gold not once, but twice in the 2024 NFL Draft. The trade-up for Turner raised a lot of eyebrows with how much the Vikings gave up, but it's not often to get a player of Turner's caliber that late in the draft. The analytics seem to back up the move that general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah made, as ESPN analytics guru Seth Walder built a sack model that projects Turner to be the most productive player in terms of sacks from the 2024 NFL Draft class.

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.
