Prediction: Tre Turner, WR: Bengals, Round 7, Pick 226

Draft predictions for Turner are quite low, which is surprising considering his ability.

With absolutely zero quarterback stability the past few years at Tech, Turner has still managed to finish his collegiate career fifth all time in receptions (134) and yards (2,292) in Virginia Tech history.

He could be one of the biggest sleeper picks in the draft. He falls low on this list based on a variety of factors, the most important of which being the fact that he seems to be underrated.

That being said, he might not get many looks right away if he falls to seventh round territory, but he can work his way up to legitimate time. Can you imagine a guy like Turner paired with Joe Sheisty?
