ESPN's Todd McShay Picks DJ Turner as Bengals Best 2023 Draft Pick

CINCINNATI — The Bengals nabbed Michigan cornerback DJ Turner with the 60th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

ESPN's Todd McShay views Turner as the team's best pick from this past weekend.

"There was some buzz that Turner could go in the first round in the weeks leading into the draft, but the Bengals landed him in the final picks of the second round," McShay wrote. "Position of need? Check. Excellent value? Check. And talent? Check again.

"Turner blazed a 4.26 in the 40-yard dash at the combine, the fastest time for the event this year. I see an outstanding combination of speed, suddenness, and fluid movement on tape, and he can mirror receivers so well, recognizing route combos and sticking with them like glue. He won't be the biggest corner in the league at 5-foot-11 and 178 pounds, and he picked off only one pass last season, but he has the traits to be a solid starter in Cincinnati. And I actually think the ball production could improve in the pros because of how well he closes on targets."

Turner might step in for Chidobe Awuzie to start the season if needed.

He adds strong depth to the Bengals' coverage unit.
