I don't believe that.
In the NFL Anderson can easily add 10-15lbs to be a more natural 4/5. It's something Chandler Jones would easily do in an offseason depending on scheme.
He can also get slower at that weight. He wasn't nearly as effective when used at natural 4 and 5 tech.
Don't you remember me saying this two months ago about how he was used out of position all the time by Alabama?
He's a natural wide edge guy. It would dumb AF to draft him to play positions he struggled more at in college
He's not going to do that in college due to the roles he's asked to play and not having the time and program in college to do it.
I have no concerns about Anderson being good in that role. Both Micah Parsons and Reddick play in 4 man fronts at sub 250lbs. You're overthinking it.
I'm not. It's called analysis. It's called not being a sycophantic, fan boy. Reddick isn't used this way either. It's a bad move to try and play players at positions they aren't good at.
I can't believe we are doubting Anderson due to size but completely ignoring that Wilson has the worst get off ever of a draft eligible edge.
Naw man you are very guilty of focusing on just what Wilson isn't great at. He's not the "worst ever". It's hard to take your argument seriously when you employ such hyperbole.
And if he is the "worst ever" then that means that even incremental improvement could lead to massive results since he already had
double Anderson's pass rush win rate last season
If there is anything to worry about it's Wilson's complete like of fundamentals in regards to get off and hand usage.
Still a 1st Team All-American. Still had double the pass rush win rate of Anderson.
And I even prefer Anderson over Wilson, I've said this like a dozen times, it's just crazy to down a guy who is a great prospect because of his warts.
Imagine if the Cowboys had listened to the Micah Parsons doubters and instead drafted someone else?
