AA said today that they are very competitive with each other, always trying to get one-up. This is great news.
One reason I was afraid they might pass on Buckner--so many good DL this year.

Kaep ruined the Kaep trade.

If they could land Billings somehow or even an Austin Johnson, that would be epic. One thing Williams hasn't shown is the ability to stay healthy.
Armstead, Billings and Buckner..

What a great stroke of good fortune for us. And Sofa, I love your idea, of taking #99...but really let him pick his own number.. Have to admit I would love #99.
Oh and Welcome DeForest....man are we ever happy to have you.
99 is a good number...
Since he was 44 in college, I think he goes 94 with us.

@ 3:07 Buckner destroys Garnett.
Buckner emerges having only enhanced his credentials and extended his lead atop the interior defender rankings, while Garnett has slipped off the top spot in the guard list thanks to their matchup. He was the clear winner when the two went head-to-head early every time. Coming into this game, Garnett has surrendered just two sacks, two hits and three hurries for a total of seven pressures on the season. Buckner beat him for a sack and three hits alone, and demolished him on a bull rush for two of them.
Bull rushes don't produce as much pressure as simply beating a player to the in or outside — because it's a hell of a lot tougher moving a 300-pound blocker all the way to the quarterback than it is just beating him there yourself — but they can lay down a real marker of sheet physical superiority. That's what this game felt like for Buckner who beat Garnett outside twice, but also just drove him back to the quarterback on a couple of occasions.
This is something Garnett simply hasn't experienced much, especially this season. In fact, Buckner is the only player to generate any positive pass-rush against Garnett by bull rushing him this season, and he did it as if it was no big deal. This was Garnett's first negatively-graded game of the season and only the fourth over the last two years.

The top of the draft went perfectly for the 49ers to land Buckner. From LA moving up to take a QB, SD taking Bosa, DAL taking Elliot. Just perfect.

I imagine they didn't want to tip their hand. I'm sure teams will ask who he's talked to and spoken with throughout the process.
yep. All they had to do was watch film of him.
This was as conservative of a pick as possible based on all the intel they have leading up to the pick. Luckily for Baalke, it was a BPA type pick too.
