That's only a 3 million difference between Buck and AA then. And Buck is not only the better player the WAY more consistent player.

They obviously wanted the best draft pick possible this year, and only Buckner would command that (between Buck and AA).

Confirmed $21. The deal is done.

How do you feel about the trade...especially now the Buckner deal with Colts is public?

We dipped out toes in the water with DeFo's extension and something tells me we were WAY off. Can't keep them all. Nobody wants to see the leader of our defense leave but we couldn't keep them all. Very upset but I understand. I think the 13th pick was a win/win for both Niners and Colts.
