Nope. We have to potential for a dominant D-line. Could the same be said if we had taken Conklin?

Hell no...take the best DL in the draft or the 3rd ranked OL who's pass blocking ability is suspect.

Pdizo, CBS / NFL.com recently did an evaluation of last yrs draft. They rated AA as the 2nd best pick in the 2015 draft.
Do you have a link to that?

This. Buckner was the smart choice. Most people had him as a Top 5 pick and Dial wasnt the answer long term as a starter.

Yep. I personally would have led the riots! When fate deals you a winner you dont pass on it, in the hope of finding maybe a different winner.
This was a position of great need and he was one of the best rated players regardless of position in the draft. Nothing is guaranteed and anything could happen but right now this is the best draft pick we have made since Bryant Young.
IMO.
Originally posted by mojave45:I happen to agree, even though I was screaming for an OT. Good move by the FO on this one. The only caveat there is that he needs to do it of course, but if there was a blue chip for us this was it.
with Stanley gone this was a no brainer and I think he was pretty high on their board as well.
