    Gotta use Will to his strengths. Alabama DC got fired for trying to play the guy inside most of the time last year after destroying the NCAA the year before that as a pure edge. He's a little smaller than Bosa, but Will should be able to bulk up a bit and provide a similar plan of attack for DeMeco. I just hope the scheme alone is going to bolster the run defense this coming year which was the biggest black eye for this team.

    I’m a little worried about him setting the edge, he honestly seems more like a 3/4 outside backer. I trust Demeco to put him in position to succeed

    Yeah that was the debate between Will and Wilson - Wilson being a true hand in the dirt DE. Will has a big frame to put on some weight. He moves great. He was the blue chip front 7 guy from the draft so hope the God given talent shines.

    I hope he’s played more like an outside type Mycah.

    Comp for me is Von Miller.

    I believe Micah could be better so if he's that, we have a great.

    Matches the eye test except the Falcons with Bijan. They had to take him earlier

    I absolutely love Will Anderson. Awesome player, awesome attitude.

    I HATE GIVING UP OUR #1 NEXT YEAR. Any rookie QB starting from Day 1 will have their challenges, including Stroud. I struggle to see how we win more than 4-5 games, which means we'll likely be picking in the Top 3-5. Next year's draft class appears to be rich in QB talent. That's a SUPER VALUABLE pick to give up. Completely out of character for Caserio, which tells me Cal was vocal.

    Agreed. I wouldn’t have minded as much if it was Cleveland pick.
    Ours will be valuable, even if we kept it and didn’t take a chance on Williams/Maye, you have Marvin Harrison Jr sitting there

    Assuming next years pick is a mid 1st round pick, the Texans may have done a decent trade in terms of value. But if they bottom out again, they will have done another massive blunder.

    Texans better win, if not they will be a laughing stock show.

    They already were the laughing stock show. The last 2-3 years have had them at a depth that cannot be usurped. Missing out on the #1 pick this year was even more embarrassing.

    They don't have to be world beaters next year but they're going to have foundational pieces to build on.

    Looking at some Cardinal stuff today FYI, the Titans, Raiders, Falcons, and Colts all tried to move to 3.

    Wonder who it was all for.....?
