Dynasty Rookie Draft Profile: Will Anderson Jr.

Will Anderson Jr. Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook

The safest player in the draft to me. Anderson has been a dominant Edge for Alabama his entire career. Anderson would have been the first player off the board last season, and if the Bears were to stick at No. 1, it would be him or Jalen Carter first off the board. Anderson has size, speed, motor, experience, stats, and character – simply put, he has it all. Anderson is either going to Chicago, Arizona, or someone else will trade up to get him inside the Top 5 picks. This is a nice Edge class, but no one else is on Anderson’s level.

Will Anderson Jr. 2023 NFL Draft Outlook

One of the safest elite prospects in some time, he lacks the ideal size of some recent top picks on the edge but has one of the most well-rounded games, with more power and physicality than similarly-built players like Von Miller. Could potentially fit best as a “Leo” in a 4-3 Under front but would also fit well as a primary pass-rusher in any scheme, whether an even or odd front. Should be one of the first players off the board on draft day, if not the first.
