Quote:I don't know, maybe someone could come up with a scheme that has Buckner,Jackson, Marks and Fowler on the field at the same time.  Or maybe it's just a rotational situation where you keep guys fresh and bring relentless pressure.  Have those guys disrupt the line then have the LEOs or LBs as clean up.

Pretty much.

 

I mean, it's never a bad thing to have this many highly talented stud defensive lineman. Buckner can do a whole lot of things really well. If we take Buckner, we have an idea in mind that gets him on the field without hurting our other talented guys in Odrick/Malik/Sen etc. We wouldn't just take him and that eliminates a player. Gus and Dave always preach rotation, rotation, rotation on the DL. You also want to build the trenches up to elite status before anywhere else, and if we add Buckner in rd 1 and gain a guy like Shilique Calhoun/Correa etc. in rd 2 or 3 (or trade up, Rd 3 seems unlikely), that's a scary pass rush. You have Odrick/Buckner/Sen/Malik who can all keep eachother fresh along the DL with Fowler from the LEO spot and a chance at developing another nice edge rusher opposite Fowler. Or on all pass rush downs, gets Buck/Sen/Malik/Fowler/Calhoun or Correa all in there.
