So is he!
what's with this dog and pony show? announce the damn pick
So is he!
Now that Peyton has retired...the commercials will increase 10 fold.
This Tunsil dude got set up bad; I feel bad for him and Media is all over it. He was obviously framed, this is some cutthroat .
pretty nice by ans... traded out of the projected tunsil pick to land conklin and a load of picks
if anybody can change him its team leader carr tbhwell he'd be a great value pick, but evidently he's a complete moron so i'm pretty terrified there... maybe carr can show him the way of christ

Overview
It would be foolish for team to be wary of selecting Buckner because of the lack of success of former Ducks defender and number three overall pick Dion Jordan, as he's a completely different type of player. The 2015 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, Ted Hendricks Award finalist and member of multiple All-American squads (first team USA Today, second team AP, etc.) presents a thicker frame, portending an NFL career with his hand on the ground, rather than a stand-up pass rusher like Jordan. Buckner had become a name to note as a 2014 second-team All-Pac-12 pick (led team with 13 tackles for loss) after two seasons as a partial-year starter; he had 29 tackles and two starts, playing in every game as a true freshman in 2013, followed by a eight-start sop re season (3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks). He finished off his career in style (83 tackles, 17 for loss, Pac-12 leading 10.5 sacks), putting himself among the top prospects in the senior class.
Pro Day Results
Bench: 21 reps of 225 pounds Analysis
Strengths
Impressive NFL-ready physique. Has natural strength and power in his hands and improved their effectiveness this year. Not a content player, Buckner plays with effort and will continue working hands and feet to improve his positioning. Light went on as pass rusher in 2015. Generated top-end production by combining his power and dynamic athletic traits. Improved his pad level as rusher creating dominating pocket push that he was able to convert into sacks and knockdowns. Rare tackle production for defensive lineman with 163 over last two seasons. Long arms and good play speed allow him maximum field coverage to tackle. Flexible upper body. Can flip shoulders, then hips around the edge of blockers allowing him to play on the other side of the line. Has size and athleticism for scheme versatility. Quick off the snap and difficult to cut off in run game. Weaknesses
Plays too tall after the snap. Pad level so high that it impacts ability to stop and change direction with necessary body control. Needs to bend more when penetrating in order to avoid redirect blocks. Will need to play with wider base to take on blockers on next level. Has habit of turning shoulders and getting knocked out of position rather than taking on blocks with squared up pads. Draft Projection
Round 1 Sources Tell Us
"His comp is going to be Calais Campbell or Arik Armstead but I think he's more talented coming out than either one of those guys. He's twice the player Armstead was coming out." - NFC Regional Scout NFL Comparison
Calais Campbell Bottom Line
Headed into this season, Buckner was a traits prospect who flashed with quickness, strength and overall athleticism, but he put those traits together in 2015. Buckner has the body type of a classic 3-4 defensive end who can control the point of attack with length and power, but he has above average pass rush potential for that position which figures to push him into the early stages of round one. Buckner has similar power to former teammate Arik Armstead, but is a much better pass rusher and has a chance to become a dominant force in the NFL
really? apple over hargreaves?giants
apple over hargreaves?
When the Cowboys are good they have a stud RB, they now have a stud RB.
The DV thing probably had him hanging by a thread. They really took hits with the news about Tunsil and Jack recently.
pretty crazy that the raiders could potentially be up with hargreaves, jack, and tunsil all on the board
well there goes hargreaves. i hope CB is no longer on the table for Oakland, instead of reaching for mackensie alexander
hargreaves is a good one, would have loved him at 14
Don't forget your new franchise player:
Love the pick. Called it a long time ago.
I wanted him at #9...got him at #11 and another 4th round pick to boot.
How good was that Bucs trade and pick very nice
damn the bucs have short starting corners...
man... myles jack is really tantalizing
Nice to know the Bears will actually trade fourth-rounders to people.
damn... they're saying that tunsil video is years old
Tunsil video is said to be possibly 5 years old...wtf is this smear campaign
Coach Freeze doing all the damage control he can.
