@SleeperBot: Minnesota traded up with the Jaguars to get one of the top edge rushers in the class in Turner. An All-American at Alabama, Turner racked up an SEC-leading 11.0 sacks as a true junior in 2023, but he's far from a late bloomer. Turner burst onto the scene as a freshman in 2021 and racked up 8.5 sacks alongside Will Anderson to create a fierce pass-rushing tandem. Athletically, Turner is rather light for an NFL edge at 246 pounds but the athletic tools (4.46 40, 40.5-inch vertical, 34.38-inch arms) are loud. With Danielle Hunter now in Houston, Turner will be relied upon right away to create havoc in the Vikings' front seven.
