[2023 NFL Draft/1-3] Will Anderson Jr., EDGE, Alabama

I was all in on Will Anderson at #2 pick, and was terrified that the Chicago Bears would take him #1. I didn’t think any of the QB’s were worthy of top select after all the hoopla about Bryce Young being a generational talent and everyone else being tops a late first round talent. And the prevailing talking point about next draft’s class being a lot better.

Bryce Young was and is too short for my opinion. A NFL QB needs to be around 6’2” or taller to see over the trenches comfortably to be effective. Shorter QB can be successful, but they have to be near perfect with perfect situations. As for Stroud I always thought he seemed like a hit or miss guy - and those more than not results are misses.

When Carolina leaped into the #1 spot I felt Will Anderson would be there, and my dilemma about would the Texans choose one of the top QB or take the safe pick in Will Anderson.

And like Oprah handing out cars, the Texans got a starting QB and a starting DE in the top 3 picks….

I’m glad I’m not the GM because I’d of been ecstatic with only Will Anderson. And CJ Stroud would be shining somewhere else.

 

The reason this group lacks chemistry is they haven't played together much. Or at least I hope that's what it is. If it's because they are dumb and incapable of learning, then that's a whole different discussion.

 

Anderson is amazing. Crazy we still got him

 

How many negative plays would Will Anderson JR have against our OL?

 

This might have been the first absolutely fun Win game of the season for me and Will Anderson was a big part of it

 

Will made AR quit

 

And still can’t get the respect to have holding calls called - and Colts OL was false starting the whole last drive (refs swallowed whistles)

 

Wow, can't fathom taking yourself out because you're winded on 3rd down with a chance to score. Where's your heart kid?

 

They should've just made up some injury to protect him, this is a pretty terrible look for a qb

 

Has a great shot at DPOY

 

He just needs a big game with 3+ sacks.

 

As I've said before he was my #1 pick and we're lucky we didn't miss out on him. Stroke of genius to trade back up after securing Stroud

 

Another one?

 

Boy oh boy, WAJ is becoming the next JJ Watt and I am here for it, and to top it off the kid is just GENUINE, he has a motor that you cant teach, now I see why they went up to get him, we have our 2 cornerstones for the future as long as K Green doesn't get CJ killed.......................huge win, UGLY but still a WIN.................................Man AR5 needs some tough love, who the hell takes themselves out for being TIRED, I have never seen that and then his post-game comments are not going to help this young man

 

Well at least he is being honest. Sometimes you need to take back a minute to make sure everything is fine; how many times have we seen NFL players play on a broken bone? Adrenaline is amazing, it can phase out pain receptors.

Even running backs and Wide receivers sit out the next play after running a long route or making a big run.

with that said, the all or nothing pass is exciting as can be, but does not bode well for longevity success. That does not translate to NFL success. All that running and heave throws is a recipe for disaster.

 

Yikes, the scary part of that list is CJ being the target some of their sacks. We play 3 of those top 5 sackers coming up, starting with #2 McDonald of the Jets.

 

Two, Hutchinson out for the season.
