Show game film from Campbell's rookie year then.
I'd rather trade him and have some other team rely on unseen potential. You're getting mad at me because you're hoping for some magical development when I'm telling you what is shown on film. lol yeah, it's hard to understand make believe results in a real life game.
Anyways, back on topic. McDowell >>>>> any current 49ers DL. Nose, end. At nose or at end. Doesn't matter.

Campbell's draft profile...crazy he got better didn't think that could happen.
"More suited to play the edge, as he had problems defeating the combo blocks when forced to play in-line, as he struggles to sink his weight and keep his pads down, causing problems for him protecting his feet vs. low blocks...Must learn to protect his legs, as he leaves his lower body exposed too often...Physical player, but he sometimes spends too much time trying to overpower the blocker when he should be slipping off the block to make plays in pursuit...Has good lateral agility, but when he plays too tall in his stance, he takes time redirecting when trying to close on the quarterback...Needs to show better recognition ability, as he will bite on pumps and fakes...Has to do a better job of keeping blockers out of his chest, as he sometimes gets too upright in his stance, allowing the opponent to leverage against him...Could use more lower-body strength, as he can be ridden wide at the point of attack...Frustration late in games will see him over-pursue."
Who were you drafting a 7? Buckner was regarded as the best 3-4 DE in the draft (name me a rookie 3-4 DE that's playing better?)...if we were stupid for drafting him then every single draft analysis was as well...all the people that voted him PAC 12 defensive player were dumb as well apprently.
