If you have the choice, do you take Buckner, the prototypical 4-technique that really couldn't be a better fit for the 49ers scheme on defense or do you take Bosa who might work out as a 3-4 OLB but unquestionably is best suited to be a DE in a 4-3.

I'd take Buckner in a heartbeat..only players I'd pick over him are the two QBs. I think Bosa can make the move from DE to OLB....give him the same snap count that Smith had as a rookie.

I don't think both will reach 7, but I'd probably take Buckner if they did. I wouldn't be unhappy with either, or a trade down to get Butler, Lawson, or Spence and some more rolls of the dice. Trading back to 20 for Wilk, then landing Spence/Lawson/Conklin, etc at that spot would be a pants-destroying dream come true.

His hype died down when people started bringing up his performance against conklin. Since then conklins hype has skyrocketed.
It is amusing.

I was high on him until I saw that game tape.

Buckner I'm assuming since Conklin was very impressive in that tape.

I saw tape of Buckner getting past Conklin on pass protection but Conklin stuffing him on the run...

I haven't seen the game but find it hard to believe that one game justifies giving up on him.

I haven't watched it but I have seen people raving about it on twitter and that's when the whole conklin is going in the top 10 talk started.

From my understanding Conklin is horrible in pass pro

Conklin is already a NFL Tackle and buckner got stymied , Buckner will face more of those guys in the NFL. Buck might not be able to dominate like he did in college

I was high on Buckner until seeing that film. I do not watch much college ball, but my cousin says Buckner does not have a good motor.

Buckner or conklin?

My answer is Conklin. OT are too strong than defense. OT are too heavy for weight than defense like 260lbs to 29lbs and rare are 310 weight .

Basically that's want I saw...your right his pass pro is trash but he's a monster in the running game.

He's not a complete tackle and I think people need to slow their role on him.

Buckner played plenty of good tackles and pretty much destroy them.

I posted that video of Buckner going against Conklin (not to youtube, but to this forum). I thought Conklin looked very good, since Buckner is an incredibly imposing force at the college level, but don't take that to mean that Buckner isn't good.

Buckner has a massive frame and will continue to gain strength. Players with his size-athletisim are so rare, and if we're going to be playing a 3-4 we want to nab this guy.

Conklin would be a nice pick to help shore up the line, but he's not the rareity that Buckner is. You can find plenty of video of him lifting guys off the ground and dominating people.

Like I have been saying all year long, The Big Buck is a good player, but he aint TOP 10..

I just think about the force him and Armstead could be playing together.
