Shoresy! Love my Letterkenny spinoff.

Why wouldn't you combine it?  You paid what you paid in the end regardless of your plans or "intent".

You go to the store to buy a $500 TV you and the wife wanted but the sales guy talks you into the $2000 model.  You get home and the wife is super pissed that you blew the budget and you say, "Oh it's ok honey cuz I only intended to spend the 500!"

Who lives in that world besides fools?

....and this trade won't ever hit the 'genius' level because IMO we would have seen more out of Turner last season. He's young and hopefully his Sophomore year he'll be better versed in the BFlo D and a little more muscle mass.....but the jury is still out. Jared Verse talks and walks like a duck....he's a duck. Dallas? More to see, hopefully his best is yet to come. Pretty good overview below on Turner:

Overview
Long and athletic with the explosive traits needed to become an impactful NFL pass rusher. Turner’s first-step quickness and elite closing burst are important building blocks, but he still needs to work on his process from Point A to Point B. He hasn’t learned to create the space and angles needed to consistently attack the edges, but that should come with better hand development and a more diversified approach. A team would be wise to widen him out and allow him a better runway to ignite his burst and overwhelm tackles with his speed. He’s added 20 pounds since coming to Alabama, but he struggles at times to stack and shed run blockers or set a firm edge. Turner’s frame and game are much less developed than Will Anderson Jr.’s coming out of Alabama last year, so it could take time for him to make his mark as a starting 3-4 outside linebacker.
