49ers.com runs down the list of top players in the 2016 NFL Draft. We continue our “Meet the Prospect” series with the former partner in crime of San Francisco's first-round pick from a year ago, Oregon defensive lineman DeForest Buckner.

Buckner is a physical freak of a specimen with massive power and a wingspan to rival a jetliner.
If that scouting report sounds familiar at all – it’s because it should. Buckner hails from Oregon, where he played alongside fellow behemoth and current 49ers defensive lineman Arik Armstead.
The two are close friends and many draft experts have predicted a reunion in San Francisco.
