According to ESPN's Mel Kiper, Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner is the No. 23 prospect of the 2016 NFL Draft class. Buckner also ranks as the No. 4 defensive end in the class.

Here is what Kiper had to say about Buckner:

"Arik Armstead was the name you heard about all spring, but if you watch the Oregon tape, Buckner is the guy who is making the big plays for the defense. He picked up 12.5 TFL and should build on his sack totals in 2015. At 6-foot-7 and 290 pounds, he has an impressive frame and could be a fit in almost any kind of system with another year of polish."
