Former No. 7 overall pick
Buckner didn’t just appear on the scene out of nowhere. He was highly touted as one of the top prospects in the 2016 NFL draft and wound being the No. 7 overall pick to the 49ers. The Oregon product was touted for his size, burst and strength from the interior.
Buckner has been a force for the 49ers since entering the league and has certainly put up the production to back up his draft stock. He has 28.5 sacks, 38 tackles for loss and 74 quarterback hits in 63 games during his four-year career. That’s production the Colts desperately need from the interior.
