Insanity. I'm happy. I'm surprised. Can't believe we got em.
After going undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft, Anderson signed with the New England Patriots. He was waived by the Patriots on May 13, 2019.Great, I'm ready to be excited. Someone tell me why I should be excited.
Seems like they just got Lawrence Guy a new best friend.Personal life[edit]
Born in Philadelphia and raised in Austin, Texas, Anderson's father played college football at Army and was a military flight surgeon who also obtained a Master of Business Administration, became an ordained minister, and served as a physician before retiring as a full-bird colonel in 2019.[18] Anderson has gained notoriety for having the ability to solve a Rubik's Cube different ways, such as behind his back or blindfolded.[19] He was also named a brand ambassador for Rubik's Cube in 2019, representing the company at international events in the offseason.[20] A mathematical economic analysis major at Rice, Anderson once made a PowerPoint presentation to his parents to get them to invest in Nintendo.[21]
To sign Veldheer & Inman.He was with the Pats for all of about two weeks after signing as a FA following the 2019 draft -- I wonder why he had such a short stay.
Ugh, he counts for two roster spots? Is he excessively large or something?To sign Veldheer & Inman.

He hadn't mastered the cube yet. BB likes guys who improve.He was with the Pats for all of about two weeks after signing as a FA following the 2019 draft -- I wonder why he had such a short stay.
He was also named a brand ambassador for Rubik's Cube in 2019,
How you end up on Bill Belichick's radar 101.Personal life[edit]

i am hereJman? Scouting report?
So do we think he’s good enough that you can go into the draft and not have to pick a tackle round one if draft doesn’t fall the right way?As BBtL's resident Rice alum, I'm a big fan of this move. Was bummed when he got dumped in 2019 (he was only there for like 3 days of mini-camp, I think it was a last-in, first-out kinda thing).
I think you still want to but maybe you don't have to.So do we think he’s good enough that you can go into the draft and not have to pick a tackle round one if draft doesn’t fall the right way?
You don't HAVE to pick a Tackle round 1 either way. I mean, if you pick the 4th, 5th, 6th best tackle in this draft he's likely a project and there's a good chance he's going to suck as a rookie probably have to fight to beat out McDermott. Anderson is probably a little better than McDermott, particularly on the left.So do we think he’s good enough that you can go into the draft and not have to pick a tackle round one if draft doesn’t fall the right way?
I’m not sure about that-I think you need better than McDemott on the roster if you want to have a good offense next season and I’m not sure you can get that at 46.You don't HAVE to pick a Tackle round 1 either way.

Either way, if you miss the top tackles, using your 14th on a tackle when you think there are better options on the board is a mistake no matter who you have rostered. Decent chance there is someone there at 46 in the project group.
If you miss your guy at 14 you won't have better than McDermott on the roster short term and you're down a potentially elite CB/Edge/WR, etc. The point was just because you use a 1st round pick on a guy doesn't mean he'll be NFL ready, even more so if you're only using a 1st because you're trying to plug a roster hole. Outside maybe RB, draft picks should generally be thought of as guys who'll be rotation players or backups year 1 and starters down the line. Using the draft like FA to plug immediate holes rarely works.I’m not sure about that-I think you need better than McDemott on the roster if you want to have a good offense next season and I’m not sure you can get that at 46.
I generally agree and the last thing you want to do is overpay to draft a bad tackle (cough Eugene Chung) but there are a couple points I’d make:If you miss your guy at 14 you won't have better than McDermott on the roster short term and you're down a potentially elite CB/Edge/WR, etc. The point was just because you use a 1st round pick on a guy doesn't mean he'll be NFL ready, even more so if you're only using a 1st because you're trying to plug a roster hole.

My son actually made us a PowerPoint presentation last night, but it was to convince us to by him new sneakers and it contained multiple spelling errors. We have a ways to go, but then again I ain't no surgeon, minister and/or Colonel, myself.Personal life[edit]
