Quick answer
Buckner scored 91.8 IDP (solo 1.5 / sack 4) points in 2025 (DL29). Played a shortened 2025 (10 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. DL year-to-year rank has been jumpy; don't buy one season as destiny. 2026 projects more depth/flex than locked starter — price the role, not the name.
