No. 3 of our NFL Draft 1-through-32: Anderson's impact unquestioned

Welcome to the third daily installment of the NFL Draft 1-through-32 series on DK Pittsburgh Sports, intended to introduce you, a prospect at a time, to the top 32 players in the class on a consensus basis, leading right up to the main event.

That, of course, will be April 27-29, in Kansas City, Mo., though all 32 teams, including the Steelers on the South Side, will operate from their local headquarters.

NO. 3: WILL ANDERSON JR.
Alabama defensive end

The edge rusher is No. 3 overall on Pro Football Focus' draft Big Board, and he just might be the first defensive player selected next month.
