DE Will Anderson, Houston (from Alabama)
DeMeco Ryans knows defense and will get the absolute best out of this beast from Alabama. Anderson is slated to start as the left end, which will allow him to pressure the quarterback and make big plays. He utilizes jaw-dropping technique to both get to the quarterback and make those big plays. He is a fluid athlete who has the pursuit speed to rack up tackles as well as make the big plays. He’s a game-changer that should come off the board as one of the first few IDPs.

Had Wilson gone to Houston, he would have had more of an immediate impact, but going to the Raiders isn’t terrible. He will serve as a rotational pass rusher behind Chandler Jones (who he plays a lot like, actually) for the time being, but eventually will be a solid Robin to Maxx Crosby’s Batman. Who knows, they may even be 1A and 1B at some point. Wilson has a great frame and wingspan and will be in the backfield quite a bit as his game develops. Don’t mistake him for a volume tackler, though. He will get his fantasy points through sacks and big plays.
