SELECTED BY BUFFALO , ROUND 3, PICK 11, OVERALL PICK 74
DT | (6'3", 307, 5.01) | OHIO STATE | COLLEGE STATS
Data from Scouts, Inc.
Grade: 73
Comments: Anderson is intense, technically sound, gap-control tackle with nonstop motor. Intense, fiery. Great leverage. Stronger lower body and base than measurables indicate. Very good initial quickness, terrific at getting into position. Great anticipation. Uses hands and upper-body strength to control blocks at point of attack. Runs well, can be explosive tackler. Disciplined, plays out his assignments. Very unselfish. Lacks bulk as a gap-control guy. Lacks burst through the line. Needs more pass-rush moves. Is much better run-stopper than pass rusher. Anderson is one of the toughest, most technically sound defensive tackles in this class. He plays with great leverage and quickness, is difficult to move at the point of attack and has tremendous stamina. He is an extremely hard worker who is relentless on and off the field. But Anderson is an overachiever with limited upside. He doesn't have great burst and doesn't have great agility. He has been tough against the run in college, but he's not overwhelming and won't occupy two gaps on a consistent basis. He could be a solid wave tackle in a 4-3 scheme, and he might be an even better fit as a 3-4 end. But he is not a complete enough package to be an every-down player in the NFL. He'll likely slip to the second day of the draft

Tim Anderson DT Ohio St
Strengths
Tim has good size and strength for his position. He is a 1gap-2gap DT. He has good lateral movement and strength in the running game and is very quick in the passing game. He is across the line and in the backfield more times than an old man with a prostate problem visits the bathroom.
Needs to Improve
Tim has to tie the scouts down to a chair and tell them to stop looking at Will Smith and Darion Scott. The real leader of the D-line is Tim (Tool Man) Anderson.
Bottom Line
Tim has all the tools of the trade. He has all the pass-rush moves and he stands strong at the point of attack. He is smart and is a leader. He is a slave to the game plan. The coaches will love this kid. In the 4th quarter, he will rise above the rest of his fellow players and make the big play. Tim is not flashy. He is just good. This draft has some very good DT's in it. Tim, in any other draft, would be a 1st rounder but in this draft, he
falls to the second round. Not flashy enough. Some team is going to get themselves one hell of a player- a core player, a team player, a professional. There is no reason for a scout to overlook a player the quality of Tim unless he got kicked in the head by a mule. Tim (Tool Man) Anderson brings all his tools when he goes to work.
