    Turner represents everything I like to see in a RB...he has the size and power to break tackles and run over people, but he also has the burst and breakaway speed to be a legitimate big play threat. (Remember his 85-yard TD run against the then-undefeated Colts in '05? Dude's got some serious jets on him.)

    Personally, I prefer Turner to any of the RB's available in this year's draft...including Peterson.

    Let's say the Titans acquire Turner and still keep the #19 pick. In terms of talent, I see this as the equivalent of having two first-round picks....a franchise-caliber RB, and a stud defensive player. (Preferably a DE).

    Turner is bigger and faster than Travis Henry, and may very well be even more powerful. Oh, and he fumbles less than Henry, too. If Henry was a 1200+ yard rusher behind the revamped O-line, there's no telling what Turner could do.

    Turner > Henry. Henry ran hard for us last year and did a great job, but there aint much tread left on those tires...

    dillon is like 50, turner is young, not even in his prime yet, and who said lamont jordan couldnt carry the load? he did it in oakland and for one year was theyre hole rushing offense, not even LT could rise that team from the depths.
