49ers’ DeForest Bucker: The happiest guy in the draft

In the eight weeks before the NFL draft, DeForest Buckner didn't hear a peep from the 49ers. No invitation for a private workout or visit, not even a phone call. [...] the Oregon defensive lineman didn't take the lack of contact from his former college head coach (Chip Kelly) and defensive line coach (Jerry Azzinaro) personally. Buckner said many of his family members, including his parents, are 49ers fans and a 49ers flag was raised after he was selected. Buckner will also reunite with defensive lineman Arik Armstead, the 49ers' 2015 first-round pick who is also Buckner's former college teammate and close friend.
