Round 1 • Pick 28
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Three-year starter who has shown a continued level of positional growth that requires the attention of NFL evaluators. Turner is a big, long 4-3 defense end with natural play strength and a surprising level of bend and agility for his size. His technique and footwork are a little spotty, though. He plays with a narrow base and tall pad level, which will always be something he has to work around. He's growing into his frame and his talent. The tape shows a player who is beginning to understand his own strength and athletic potential. His pass rush plan is limited, but he has a go-to move that opens the door to quarterbacks. Once he gets an advantage, he is an absolute menace to recover against for blockers. His size and play traits will have both odd- and even-front defenses interested in him as a talented three-down starter who is still on the way up.

Round 6 • Pick 19
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Scheme-specific developmental prospect who needs to do a better job of matching his play speed with his true speed. Stevenson lacks the ball-tracking and physicality to win contested catches as an outside receiver. He'll be scouted as a slot receiver, but is hindered by unfocused route-running and leggy strides that limit his suddenness to uncover quickly underneath. With coaching, the routes should improve, but he might need a route tree that can keep him on the move and open up chances to separate with his speed. Crossing routes, receiver screens and kick returns show off his instincts as an open-field runner, but he will need to improve his toughness, pass-catching consistency and routes if he wants to make his mark in the pros.

Round 7 • Pick 32
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Squatty, short-stepping linebacker who plays with tremendous energy and is always on the attack. Stuard has a twitchy, explosive take-off when he's playing forward, but tight hips restrict his sideline-to-sideline range and his ability to make reactive plays as a tackler in space. He has good straight-line speed and should test well in that department, but his lack of size and inability to play all three downs could force him into a situation where special teams would be his route to a roster.
