Solid front. If we can secure a legit NT that would be swell.

thank you for including brooks. there is no logical reason in my opinion for getting rid of him.. i think you will be able to throw eli into that mix and as usual we will get one or two good linebackers in the draft cuz that is what we always do

WHAT HE BRINGS:Buckner is a top-five prospect with outstanding measurables, raw power and above-average athleticism. He's a long-levered run defender who has the ability to create penetration and hold the point of attack. He needs some refining as a pass rusher and has to learn to play with lower pad level, but Buckner has the quickness, heavy hands and speed-to-power capability to add value getting after the QB. The bottom line? He is a durable and productive defender, whose versatility will allow him to play multiple spots along the D-line.
How he fits: The 49ers are still looking to replenish the talent along the front seven and Buckner fits the mold. He needs to continue to get stronger but he has the ideal frame to fit as 5-technique. Buckner will instantly be an upgrade for their 29th-ranked rush defense and provides upside as a pass-rusher, if he gets the proper coaching. -- Kevin Weidl

I think Brooks is shine when we can be in the background, kind of like how he was the 4th man in our great linebacking group. With the D-line in front of him now and Aaron Lynch starting opposite of him, Brooks should be in a good spot to make some plays if he gives it 100% this year.
