Oldcrow1945 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Here is a simple one that you guys can rip apart if you'd like. How about a simple swap of Places with Detroit. We send Anderson and our #5 overall for Detroit's #1. The Browns then get the LB they want in Curry. If the Brown's can't get the 2nd round pick they want for Anderson, You could almost look at this deal as Anderson for Curry. Then draft Rhett Bomar in the 4th round.

I like it but I doubt they would consider. Plus curry's contract at 5 vs 1 is a big diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalls1129 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Why in the hell would we do this. A player and our pick for 4 spots and an almost assured holdout for what? With all the holes on this team this would just piss me off. We need to add picks, not loose a player (which could add picks or if not is our backup). So what this trade really does, is create another hole (backup QB) to trade up for the deepest position in the draft (admittedly Curry graded way above the rest).

Would rather trade down and get 2 picks and trade anderson for a pick. then you got 3 extra picks in first three rounds, rather than just onepick for the #5 and anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have info that we do not? How do you know he's a sure holdout? I don't look at it as moving up 4 spots. I look at it as moving up by leaps and bounds in potential when compared to what will be available at #5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is also why I thought Detroit would want to trade down. I think Scwartz is going to want an OT and he can get one at #5 and pay him a lot less.

I don't think they risk Sanchez or Stafford falling that far unless San Fran signs Warner. They also could wait until round three and draft a Nate Davis or wait until round 4 and draft Rhett Bomar. Or wait another year and go after a Qb in Bradford, Tebow or McCoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandFanForLife Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 how about the browns trade da and their pick to detroit and get the lions 20th overall, the 33rd overall and a 1st/2nd rounder next year? it would save cap space because the browns wouldn't have to pay top 5 money to someone this year and they could probably get maualuga/cushing at 20 and matthes at 33.

I look at it as moving up by leaps and bounds in potential when compared to what will be available at #5 Of course I don't know for sure, but go back and look at history, the chances are better than not; no? You can look at it however you want but to trade DA and a #5 pick for Aaron Curry seems to be overvaluing Curry IMO. Not sure how much clearer I can put it, you want to trade a former Pro-Bowl QB, who's 25, and a top 5 pick for an unknown, unproven player. Just don't get how it makes sense. I don't have a value chart, but I would guess we'd be getting hosed here. And creating a hole w/out getting an extra draft pick or anything.

Players like Brad Johnson, Brian Griese, Chris Chnadler and Steve Buerline were back up pro bowlers too. It means nothing. The guy had one good year when the Browns played the easiest schedule in the NFL. It's obvious that NFL teams are not knocking down the Browns door to get this guy. Talk about over valuing....You are doing it with Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Detroit thinks Anderson is worth the #10 overall pick, they would laugh Kokinis outta Ford Field. If you look at the draft value chart (I'm looking at a 2006 version, but I'm not sure they change that much from year to year) the #1 overall is worth 3,000 points and the #5 overall is worth 1,700 points. That's a difference of 1,300 points, which is what the #10 overall is worth. Detroit would be stupid to do this. I agree with the others, Cleveland would be stupid to do this as well, even though they would get essentially a 1st round Draft Pick for Anderson. All on paper though since we don't get another pick, but rather trade a pick and a player for a pick. Don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a difference of 1,300 points, which is what the #10 overall is worth. Detroit would be stupid to do this. Don't like it. But you missed the point. It's not what Anderson is worth. My thought process is Schwartz wanting an OT and knowing he can get one of the two he wants with pick #5 as well as pick #1. In this case your value chart is meaningless. It doesn't equate into this decision at all. Schwartz, and Linehan especially, is going to want to run the ball. Schwartz spoke at length at the combines of the need to be sure with that first pick and the history of OT's taken in the first round being very successful. The Lions would not only get the OT they wanted in the first place with the 5th overall pick, they would be paying him a lot less and they'd be getting a QB as well! Detroit would be stupid to do this? You have to look at the whole picture before you make that kind of statement. You seem to only be able to look at it at face value instead of the whole picture. Charts are worthless when you have to consider contracts and money, team needs, etc. Cleveland would be the team taking the bigger chance here.

calfoxwc Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yikes... you know the money we'd have to pay Curry? He isn't superman. Trading DA for Detroit's second round pick would be huge. You'd end up with Orakpo AND another player in the top of the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as much as he seems to be loved on this board I thought some guys may like the thought of it. I don't think Detroit is giving up pick #33 for DA. Maybe pick #65. No way is Schwartz gambling on DA when he could get a Mathews or Lauriniatis or Michael Johnson or Alex Mack or Paul Kruger with #33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
