Wow: DeForest Buckner broke the 4th MCP joint in his right hand before the opener last year, played through it all season and earned 1st-team All-Pro. "Wasn't able to grab all year," he said. "Didn't have full strength. As a D-linemen, you need your hands. Those are your weapons"

Letting him go was a mistake. Couple that with having to see armstead on the field makes it hurt twice as much

We easily could have made a trade to move up for Aiyuk without the Buckner/Tampa deals. And that's also putting aside the fact that many believe we didnt need to trade up to get Aiyuk to begin with.

No, now you're just spouting assumptions.

lol. you think an extra 4th round pick is what gave us the ammo to move up a couple of spots for a guy that KS really wanted?

Whoop, it was a fifth rounder and 4th rounder. Either way, it was a pick that the Bucs gave us that we used to trade up. These are facts and not fake scenarios you guys are putting up. We didn't have our own 2, 3, 4 rounds. So yeah, that was the ammo that helped the Niners move up.

Same thing would've happened if we kept Buckner and traded AA instead. BA was gonna be the pick either way.

You can argue that it was better for the cap to trade Buck, but don't try and act like without that trade we don't get BA.

I would've kept Buckner instead of AA like everyone else wanted, but that's not what happened. You throwing 5th and 6th rounders to move up 6 spots in round 1? I'm providing facts and you're providing hypotheticals. I could say the opposite and say without the trade BA doesn't happen, except I have evidence that he was traded using the bucs pick.
