If we send out 25 we will have to wait at least 3 years to get in that position. I find that to be at least as big of a hit as the pick itself. His injury history and all the other reasons not to spend large cap/assets on a center makes me worried this turns into a mini KP situation.
Don't necessarily have to wait that long, can fix that situation by getting another team's pick. Try to get some cheap one from a really good contender if they really need to make something happen, or make a trade to remove the protections placed on the pick. I'd be a little hesitant to give up the 2025 pick and Josh Green both though. Turner is gonna be looking to get paid after this contract expires. They better be really sure about whoever they're picking this draft becoming a quality player. Worst case scenario is drafting a project that doesn't ever get good or gets good around the end of the rookie deal.
