The comparisons to make between Harmon and former 49ers first-round pick DeForest Buckner are easy. Both are lengthy, athletic Oregon defensive tackles with quick hands and tremendous pass-rushing value along the interior.
Though Buckner graded out slightly higher against the run for me coming out than Harmon does, it's not inconceivable to think the latter can't also reach Pro Bowl status at some point in his career.
Harmon spent his first three seasons at Michigan State before transferring to Oregon for his senior season. The 6-5, 310 pound DT posted 55 pressures and five sacks during his final college season.
If Harmon can step in and be as effective as Buckner or Armstead were at their best, it's easy to see why he'd be an enticing choice for the 49ers with the 11th pick.
