DeForest Buckner is a Freak

[TheFinisher]

6'7" 290 and can line up virtually anywhere along your defensive front. I've seen a lot of posters express frustration with mock drafts that peg him to us, but this guy wrecked havoc in the Pac-12 and has a massive ceiling in the pros. If Greg Hardy walks we have a big need at DE and Buckner is the perfect guy to play that Hardy role of LE who can slide inside on passing downs.

I've watched a few of his games, but will need to watch more, he's still a question mark imo

 

[Risen Star]

It was mind bottling the way he wrecked havoc.

 

[Risen Star]

Here's the problem. He's not a QB. I'll trade you two "freaks" anywhere on the field for a franchise QB.

Can he play QB though?

So you force a QB pick at 4 regardless of how you grade them out?

Did you imagine me saying that?

Huh? You just said this a minute ago...

Wont be the pick. I didnt feel like he dominated either. Only one sure thing in this draft. His name is Laremy Tunsil.

 

[Rockport]

We need to be able to rush the QB. I'd be all for it if he's the highest rated lineman available.

 

[Risen Star]

You have peculiar reading comprehension skills. Show me where my quote mentions taking a QB regardless of how you have them graded.

I will be shocked if the titans dont draft him,they will have the best tackle combo in the league.

Not with Lawrence and most likely Gregory starting at DE. We have a bigger need behind injury prone Romo.

Which franchise QB would you trade these two freaks for? If I had a crystal ball and could tell you who the franchise QB is I would do it also.

That video is useless. There is literally nothing to see of value in that video. I would need to watch his games, but I don't have time for that. So my question is, can he turn a corner at greater than 45 degree angle while swimming under the arms of a 330lbs 34" arm left tackle? At 6'7 290lbs, I'm going to say most likely not. (it's possible though) So, while he might can play DE. He most likely won't be a top pass rusher ala DeMarcus Ware and the like.

He looks like a 5tech DE to me with the potential to slide outside to the strong side at times. I don't think he's ever going to be much of an edge rusher.

You don't spend top 5 picks on DE 5 techs. I think I'd puke if this was the pick.

Better than reaching for a QB. Jack and Treadwell Boys. Otherwise, the NFL combine is in 5 short weeks. Watch and Learn.
