Buckner is better than Thomas, dude.
At what? Pass rush? Maybe. We don't know for sure because Thomas never gets anywhere near the pass rush snaps inside that Buckner gets. I would guess it's rather close there.
In run defense? He's not even in the same universe as Thomas. Thomas is one of the best interior run defenders in the league, and Buckner is one of the worst.
I can provide a million examples of how bad Buckner is against the run.
Here are some more against the Bucs:
