Is Mark Anderson a legitimate starter?

[Blacksheep71]

I've been looking at Anderson's record in the NFL and the 7 seasons he's played accumulating 35.5sacks in total and I was amazed he's only ever been a starter in one season - 2007.

He's played in 93games but only started 21games in total.

In the two seasons when he's registered double digit sacks - 12 in 2006 and 10 in 2011 he's only started 2 games out of a total of 32games.

Do we therefore risk starting Anderson where his performance has been average or employ him exclusively as a specialist pass rusher and draft a starter to play the majority of downs opposite Mario?

We are going to give him a shot to start. Were paying him like a starter and were not gonna take a DE at 10. I could see us taking one in the 3rd and beyond

I think he is but I would love to grab Ingram at 10. Ingram give us tremendous depth and is a player you can utilize all over the field. Defensive end will be his main position but you can put him at DT and even inside linebacker in pure passing downs.

I don't think it really matters. We are deep at DE with Kelsay, Carrington and Edwards to go with Williams and Anderson. If Anderson proves better suited to be a pass rush specialist, we seem to be covered.

I think you are right. After the Wms - Anderson acquisitions, I can't see BUF selecting a DE other than in the 6th or 7th - BPA territory.

Keep the dline deep and the whole defense looks good. I have no problem with a DE at 10 just not a DT or LB please.

DE is now the LAST position I'd want the Bills to use a pick on.

LT,CB & OL.

He's a rotational guy best used on passing downs.

Deep in terms of bodies yes, but deep in terms of talented players...not so sure.

We have guys we can put in for rushing downs...Carrington, Kelsay, etc. I would rather not use #10 on a DE now, which I think was the point of the thread.

I would use the 10 pick on Coples and that's my point. He's the perfect fit for this team.

Ill explain why tomorrow but his ability and versatility would be perfect.

I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't a 'starter'.
