Buccaneers would pick Kobie Turner over Calijah Kancey in re-draft
Summary

In a hypothetical 2023 NFL re-draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would select Kobie Turner instead of Calijah Kancey. Kancey, the 19th overall pick in 2023, faced injury struggles that have hindered his career, playing only three games last season. Conversely, Turner, drafted 89th overall, has consistently performed well and remains healthy. He recorded nine sacks as a rookie and became a key player for the Rams, while Kancey's missed games due to injuries have drawn attention to his availability. Kancey, entering his fourth NFL season, needs to demonstrate durability to secure a significant contract moving forward.
