Derek Anderson to Miami for #1 pick?

Found February 11, 2008 on Phin Phanatic:
PLAYERS: Derek Anderson,  Matt Ryan,  Derek Anderson
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns,  Miami Dolphins

78347178
Despite Derek Anderson's terrible performance in yesterday's meaningless Pro Bowl, there is buzz that he may be headed to Miami for the #1 overall selection. Does anyone think that Anderson's agent is wishing he would have steered clear of Honolulu the same way many prospects steer clear of the NFL Combine? If you perform well in the Pro Bowl, you've got nothing to gain because no one plays defense. The game sucks like that. But if you perform poorly... you get my point. The only reason this trade would even be considered is because this year's crop of QBs is pretty average on the whole. There is no must-have guy, and Matt Ryan's name emerges above the others only because analysts, scouts and managements feel the need to latch on to someone as the best of the best. Truth is, any number of guys could be the best QB in this year's draft. Why waste a top pick on a gamble? Or on Derek Anderson for that matter? Cleveland, if Miami wants to give you the #1 pick for Derek Anderson, I have three words for you: PULL THE TRIGGER.

  • i dont think he is worth it either but for the browns if the dolphins would do this would be a steal because they could draft another stud ol to protect quinn. i dont think he is worth it and i dont think the dolphins do this simply because they just drafted John Beck and yeah i know Parcels didnt draft him but he has looked pretty good from what i have heard n seen. i think the browns would have to send braylon edwards n anderson to have a shot at that#1 pick

  • The Browns would be crazy to use a #1 overall draft on the OL. The line currently in place is one of the best in the league, and although they could use someone else at right guard they are in dire need of help on the DL. As a huge Browns fan I believe Dorsey would be the only option here, especially with free agent Faneca on the market, who we all know is getting old but is still a monster, and can solidify the line. As far as sending Anderson and Edwards for a #1 pick, they would have to be insane...I do agree I don't think it will happen, but I will be praying every night that it does, lets face it, it wouldn't be the dumbest draft move the fins have made...teddy ginn (I love him but that was a ridicules pick)

  • Buy him a ticket to Miami now! Cleveland has it's QB of the future sitting on the bench and Anderson has no touch with the ball whatsoever. Braylon, J2 and Winslow made him look great all year. I'm a die hard Cleveland fan, hell I went to a game for my honeymoon and I say good bye, good bye, good bye.

  • I'm not sure where you get your crack, but you may want to seriously consider laying off that stuff -- Micheal Irvin says it's kind of bad for you, but can get you through a few Super Bowl games okay.

    Anderson's a talented QB - but there are literally less than 5 QB's that any rational GM would trade the #1 overall pick for -- P. Manning, T. Brady, C. Palmer, and that's really about it. If the Dolphins would be dumb enough to do this, whoever is the "factor" in deciding this, should be publically caned for their stupidity.

  • No way this will happen - anderson for a #1 pick? The Dolphins would be better off drafting Ryan from BC. I do think that the Dolphins will trade this pick..makes more sense then drafting dorsey. Trade down withsomeone and get more picks is what Parcells will do. Now if the Dolphins trade with another team and have a #18 pick or something like that then I could see them going after Anderson.

  • This would be a stupid move. They could easily get DA for their second rounder and one other low round pick, or a 2nd or 3rd rounder next year. If they don't want Dorsey there are plenty of teams who would trade them for a mid 1st round plus 3rd round pick or something similar.
    In the Dolphins want DA, they can get him for a lot less than the #1 pick.

  • DEREK ANDERSON WON'T GET TRADED. JAMAL WILL GET THE FRANCHISE TAG, AND THE BROWNS WILL HIT THE FREE AGENT MARKET WITH AN EARLY SMASH HIT. LOOK FOR US TO GET ASANTE SAMUEL OR LANCE BRIGGS. THOUGH I THINK CLEANING UP THE FRONT SEVEN IS A MUST, WITH THE SCHEDULE WE HAVE NEXT YEAR WE WILL NEED A BETTER SHUT DOWN CORNER OPPOSITE ERIC WRIGHT, BECAUSE BODDEN JUST WON'T CUT IT AGAINST CHAD, TO, AND REG WAYNE.
