Henry Anderson and Marcus Hardison DT/DE prospects

One Stanford guy could replace another. We lost Mauro to Pitts. West but could get a potentially better replacement in Henry Anderson.

6'6" 294lbs. Spent all of his time in a 3-4 defense. Moved around the line playing multiple positions. Powerful dude and will be strong at the point of attack. Not a flashy athlete but a brute who gets the job done.

Good write up from a chargers site. http://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/201...man-the-chargers-need-to-invest-in-this-draft

Not good at posting the videos but here are the links:

I think Anderson could be there in round 5 or 6. Won't blow you away with his numbers but he is a football player.

Marcus Hardison 6'3" 307lbs Arizona St.

I see Anderson more as a power guy at DE and Hardison more of a penetrating guy at DE. Depends how Butler will run the defense, but these two are good mid round guys for either tactic imo.

Had a good Senior Bowl and was very quick at the ASU pro day. Started in junior college and has only one year of production. Weaker against the run but difficult to handle on passing downs. Could see his time there as a specialist until his run defense game builds up.

One from the Chiefs site that goes more into his background - http://www.chiefsdigest.com/arizona-state-dt-marcus-hardison-blooming-at-right-time/

I could see Hardison being available in the 5-6-7 round range. Tough to predict due to his limited production but teams may like his pass rushing potential.

 

i still like hemer, kruger and conraths chances as backups. kruger reminds me alot of keisel and the way he started here. could even stand up and come off the edge at times.
