Projected Round: 4th
Any time you seen an Ivy-League guy getting NFL consideration, you know he must have been impressive on tape; it takes a lot to get scouts believing an Ivy-League player can dominate against NFL competition.
And in Cole Toner’s case, that’s exactly what he’s done. With NFL-level strength and athleticism, Toner was dominate in the Ivy Leagues, and when he went to the Senior Bowl, he showed that he could stand up to increased competition.
While he probably couldn’t be a day one starter, there’s plenty of upside with Turner, and in the fourth round, that’s better than many. Not to mention, it never hurts to have an overly intelligent guy on your offensive line; the fact that Turner is an elite athlete is just a bonus.
As a swing tackle, adding depth to Denver’s injury-prone offensive line, Turner could make a lot of sense in the mid rounds.
