Quote:I get the whole "fit" perspective, but if you think he's elite you don't pass on him. If you are either worried about Jack's knee (doubt it), or Bosa you think is just going to be very good but never a building block level piece on defense, and you think Buckner is, you don't pass on an elite talent for a very good. We need help rushing the passer on defense. We need disruptive playmakers. If Buckner is that, then go ahead and take him. IDC where he plays if he will do that in his career.


If this guy is a guy you think will be an all-pro player at the NFL level, are you seriously telling me that you would pass on him? We haven't had a player like that on defense in forever. IDC if we have solid pieces at those positions. We rotate defensive lineman a ton. If we have Buckner, Fowler, Malik, Sen, etc. going at the passer next year and for years to come this defense is going to have a seriously good pass rush if Fowler and Buckner live up to their expectations.


I get it, Bosa is a better fit, but if we take Buckner than Wash/Bradley/Caldwell obviously think they can get all these playmakers in often. They wouldn't take him if they didn't think they could all get enough snaps here.
