I think as fans we tend to overvalue players. Besides for a good rookie year (cut short from injury anyways), he hasn't done a whole lot. We saw his potential but he was fighting an uphill battle with the scheme change. Sucks to see him leave but it was going to happen in camp or next year in free agency anyways.

It was bound to happen as he is not a great scheme fit in this defense. I wish Anderson luck going forward. Hopefully, he can stay healthy and remain productive.

could have gotten more value. Henrys worth more than what you can get out of a 7th rounder

Henry Anderson is a talented player we just gave away regardless of scheme fit..Some of these moves boggle my mind..We had a chance to really kill this draft..Hopefully I'm wrong..At this point I tgink I'd rather have Grigson with a good coach who can develop players..

yep and that kind of thinking is the reason were in this boat right now instead of getting epic players

The same GM who drafted DE Bjoern Werner, WR Phillip Dorset, and traded a first for RB Trent Richardson. No Thanks!  I would bet anybody a pizza that our brand new RBs in the 2018 draft will out produce Trent Richardson.

He is definitely worth more to the Colts than a 7th rounder. Would have rather gotten back a player who has some upside.

He may not have been a perfect scheme fit in a 4-3 but he was never even given a chance. He's a hard worker and smart guy. I have little doubt he would have done well here.

 

I'm very disappointed in this trade. Unless we hit the lottery the player we get at 235 will pale in comparison.

I am disappointed too to give up a player who did everything he could to play in this scheme by losing the weight. Trading him later would have been fine but not giving him a chance is what bothers me. If you play him this year and he plays well enough, we could still trade him for a better pick. I am not so sure our DL is that much of a play making unit that we can afford to keep losing Hankins, Anderson etc. and still make plays.

What has Henry Anderson done do warrant something more than a 7th rounder? I like they guy but he was a shell of his rookie season. 

 

Colts fans tend to overate their own players. He was a bad fit in the 4-3 and was probably going to be cut. 

He might get hurt on the flight to NY.....

Wow loose both of our best DL men due to scheme fit. Something is stinking ing here. Your telling me Hankins and Anderson can't adjust. SMH 2 best players and 1 7th round pick to show for it Ballard is worse than Grigson.

Watch out crazycolt is gonna flip out about your opinion.

"Ballard is worse than Grigson" :lol:. I guess it only took a little over a year for him to where out his welcome with you.

For those complaining, it shows you that he was going to be cut after the draft. Better to pick up something rather than nothing. 

You are right, but he had lost weight so he could play all positions on the line, but obviously the plan didn't call for someone of his talent level in this new rotational d-line concept.  I hope the people we've brought in will all be better than him.  Guess we'll find out.

Let me know when he trades a first for Trent Richardson.

Wow.  This thread reads as if Henry Anderson had been in some pro bowls.   Was solid as a rookie and been injured since.  Shocked Colts got anything for him.  Remember, Hankins, who clearly had a better year, couldn’t even net a 7.

You’re obviously new here. You aren’t allowed to say stuff like that just FYI.

This was the first thing I thought, it seemed like they were parading him in front of the press with all of his weight loss not long ago. I thought that was a good sign he was going to be a part of the roster.

 

If he was going to get cut then fair enough to get a pick but he was a player I did quite like.

 

All the best Henry

Ok...when i get hired.

 

That's when you don't explain your player analysis.  Right now is a perfect time, there's a chance someone in an NFL team front office will notice how good you are and then hire you.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
