Where would you rank DeForest Buckner in the 2016 draft class?
One of the storylines we’ll be sure to follow in 2019 is DeForest Buckner. One year ago, we were calling him DPOY around these parts and campaigning for him to get Defensive Player of the Year. He didn’t quite get to that status, but he was still a force on the field, the only thing more impressive than Buckner on the field was the disrespect he got from the media and analysts off it. DPOY or not (he wasn’t), Buckner was omitted from anything defensive line related to the point where it was near ridiculous.
