In this Quick Hit episode of We Want Winners, Rod Adams and Garrett Gonzales react to the 49ers trading for defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, reuniting him with the team that drafted him, in a deal with the Indianapolis Colts.
It's a shorter, single-topic episode: Rod breaks down who Buckner is today, a steady, productive interior lineman, versus the three-time Pro Bowl, All-Pro force he was during San Francisco's run to Super Bowl LIV. Garrett explains why fans will embrace him instantly, since the team let him walk once before and the Niners have never fully replaced him in the years since. They close by looking at what other moves could still be coming and hoping San Francisco adds a pass rusher before the trade deadline.
