Like GBG says by signing Turner it gave us flexibility and options during the draft.  I do think they signed him with the expectation that he would be one of the starting guards.  That doesn't mean they would not take a player in the draft that might take over that spot instead.  RR may be right, Taylor may end up improving enough and Jenkins might be good enough to knock Turner out of the starting lineup.  While paying a backup that much money isn't the ideal situation its not all that bad. I'd rather have my top backup be a guy that I had confidence in to be a starter rather than someone who I don't want to see on the field. Its fine to have some of your depth be young guys you are developing from scratch but having some depth that has starter experience is a good thing as well.  All in all I like the way our line is looking.  I won't be quite as worried now when Bulaga goes down with his annual ailment.</blockquote>
