TwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailOne of the storylines we’ll be sure to follow in 2019 is DeForest Buckner. One year ago, we were calling him DPOY around these parts and campaigning for him to get Defensive Player of the Year. He didn’t quite get to that status, but he was still a force on the field, the only thing more impressive than Buckner on the field was the disrespect he got from the media and analysts off it. DPOY or not (he wasn’t), Buckner was omitted from anything defensive line related to the point where it was near ridiculous. It got me wondering, forget defense, where do you rank DeForest Buckner among the 2016 draft class? There were some amazing players out of that class. Jalen Ramsey K'Waun Williams Jersey , Michael Thomas, Joey Bosa; terrific players.Where would you put Buckner on that list? Was he one of the top 10? You might be wondering why I ask this. Over at NFL.com, analyst David Carr wanted to try this analysis thing again with his top-10 players out of the 2016 draft class. Buckner isn’t on the list. We all can accept that Buckner is not the best player out of that class when you look at that crop of names above. Not top-5, maybe the end of the top-10. Maybe. It still seems strange when at the end of the list he’s debating on putting Derrick Henry on it. Sorry, but Buckner was far better than Henry. You might be wondering why I bring this Carr article up. Well for one thing, it’s David Carr. The same guy who said Joe Montana was not a top-10 quarterback. That alone does not bode well for your credibility. For another, is Buckner still not getting respect? Given the depth of the 2016 draft class leaving Buckner off of it in favor of someone else could be apples to oranges. But when you’re considering Henry at No. 10 Womens Arik Armstead Jersey , the entire list is going to come under question. Look at the 2016 draft class. Where do you think DeForest Buckner falls with it? Would he be a top-10 player? Heck, I don’t know. What do you think?How hot is Robert Saleh’s seat? The San Francisco 49ers have issues on both sides of the ball, but it seems a lot of the rage has been aimed at the defense. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh’ unit hasn’t been putting up the numbers one would like. The 49ers are averaging 29.2 points per game (29th)and are ranked 24th in sacks. They are tied for dead last in interceptions and in the back half of the league (a massive tie at 18th) for fumbles recovered. Those last two stats didn’t improve at all on Sunday. While the offense turned the ball over regularly, the defense could not get a takeaway if dire circumstances depended on it. While they managed to keep the Cardinals from operating after the opening touchdown (we have the offense’s five turnovers to thank for things going sideways), they still weren’t able to get any takeaways. Then of course, there’s the first play of the Cardinals opening drive that led to a touchdown. 49ers safety Adrian Colbert shouldered the blame, but some of these miscommunications and bad decisions need to fall on someone other than the players. Is Saleh under the microscope?49ers cornerback Richard Sherman has been supportive of Saleh’s play-calling and scheme http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-joe-montana-jersey , saying that the players need to execute things better. But when does the lack of execution and miscommunications turn into bad coaching? And will someone be going down with the ship after this season ends? Keep in mind, this is a rebuild. The 49ers are trying to keep consistency for once, which includes the defensive coordinator. Some fans like Saleh’s defense and others I’ve noticed can’t stand it. I think we’ll return to this through the rest of the season, but I want to see what everyone thinks of Saleh’s seat right now. Therefore I have the heat-o-meter:
