Henry Anderson Traded To Jets

[TheMose]

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.

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

Do we get any compensatory for 2019?

I think comp picks are only affected by FA losses and signing. Players that are cut or traded shouldn't factor in.

[Nesjan3]

yea someone said it best in another thread, either Ballard just set us back another 5 years or he is a genius

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.

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

 

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

Yes, it’s a complete joke we traded a guy that can’t stay healthy and doesn’t fit the new scheme. 

 

Compelte joke. 

[Luck 4 president]

Any guesses on which of our current picks will meet the same fate in a few years?

[ColtsLegacy]

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.

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

Thank you

[Aluckiswolverine]

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. 

[sracolts84]

Even if he was worth more than a 7th round pick, who's to say they could have gotten something better? Or perhaps they tried and couldn't get a better deal and preferred to get what they could.

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.

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

How did we not get a 7th rounder out of Hankins??

Was likely going to get cut. That seems fairly obvious to me. At least for myself, I'm not laughing. 

[TouchdownMonkey]

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.

That's how. 

[IndyScribe]

Sucks to see him go but not surprising. He fits well in a 3-4 but doesn't fit that well in the Colts new defense. Best of luck in NY!

Loved Big Hank too. Doesn’t fit the system so I understand.

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

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.

Hey, where are those player breakdowns?  Let us all experience your player evaluation expertise.

[Nate!]

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.

[Luck 4 president]

So is Lewis going to start?

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

At the time of trade every one was pumped about not one person was saying it was dumb till Trent didn't show up. Trent failed not Grigson, not saying Grigson was good lol.

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

Looks that way. I thought he was a tweener DE/DT but it sounds like he might start at DE and kick inside on third down.

[backshoulderfade]

Year 1 he was a beast. Never reached those heights again. Not a scheme fit in a 4-3.

No.. the end spots are still Simons and Sheards to lose. Lewis will be a rotational piece at DE.

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.

[Narcosys]

We seriously couldn't use him as a DT? I have trouble believing that. And all we got was this lousy T-shirt.

After this draft I can't see Ballard keeping Simon at DE. But I guess we will see.
