Poor scheme fit. He's a 3-4 end.

Alot of analysts believe he could play DE in a 4-3. Some even think he could play 3tech I not one of them however. He could rush from the 3tech on passing downs but he's to tall and plays to high to be a full time 3 tech. I like Bosa better but Buckner will be good in a 3-4 or 4-3.

I wouldn't be upset with Bucker, but I think the reason people aren't talking about him for the Cowboys is the fact that he's 6'7", so the assumption is he's a 3-4 fit.

I do not know why he is rated so high. I watched every game of his at Oregon and never really impressed me.

Few people on this site are impressed with any of the top ten non QBs unless it Zeke. I like Zeke but would need to trade no way I take him at 4.

He'd have to play on both sides of the ball to reach 100 snaps. A team has had 100 snaps in a game only twice in NFL history, and both of those games went into the last six minutes of overtime.


That was the point I was making yes.

I don't have anything personally against Buckner, but I'd be upset if he were drafted over Ramsey or Elliott at #4. If you traded down and snagged him in the #8 - #10 range, I think I'd be a bit more comfortable.
