Running Back Rank: #3
Overall: #3
Turner probably exceeded all expectations his first year as a full-time starter. He was a stud for the Falcons, scoring 17 touchdowns while running for 1,699 yards. The Falcons have an emerging offense that could be even better with Matt Ryan developing, which is a good thing for Turner. He runs with a lot of power but has top speed to break a big play. He is a power back that is a home-run threat ? a rare combination. The only knock on Turner is he gets little work in the passing game. He caught just six passes last season.

You can overlook his terrible numbers at receiver because of his great yardage and touchdown potential. He can come close to last season's numbers in this Falcons offense. Turner is a top 10 pick and won't last past the first round this season. |
