I agree that Bucannon is better in coverage than most give him credit for. 6 INTs is 6 INTs, after all. He can't play man-to-man that well, but as long as he's playing zone, his pass coverage is solid. And he hits so hard that he forces a lot of dropped passes. But the best part about his game is that even though he hits ferociously hard, he's a reliable tackler. That alone could make him a starter immediately in our secondary.
