Quote:Unless they plan on making massive changes to this scheme then it would be a wasted pick by us and a waste of Buckner's talents.


At best he starts in the "Big End" role and he's asked to play run stuffer the majority of the time neutralizing his ability as a pass rusher. Or he rotates with Jackson/Marks etc which again is a waste of a pick and his talent. No one spends a top 5 pick with the idea he'll be effective in a rotational role. It's just not realistic.

That's what i'm saying, changes would obviously occur because we wouldn't spend a #5 pick on a guy that would just play run stuffer. That's what I'm saying. If we took him we'd obviously have a plan with him, and we wouldn't be picking him to get rid of another guy.

 

I think you are underrating the changes that Wash will likely bring. Not like it's going to be totally different, but I expect a good amount of changes, especially when it comes to aggressiveness.
