Well first off I read this article about how the fins could make a play for Derek Anderson but it would cost us our 1st and 3rd round picks this year, which to me is just not worth it. I know this has been talked about before but the thing that caught my eye was that it says that we have 3 2nd round picks?? Did I miss something?

The Browns have until February 28th to place the highest tender on Anderson, unless the two parties can agree on a contract before then. It's very unlikely that the Browns will place their franchise tag on Anderson at the rate of 12 million for the 2008 season. The situation bears watching because the Miami Dolphins who have previously been reported to have some interest in Anderson, are in position to make a play for the former Oregon State Beaver during the free-agency period because they own five picks in the first three rounds of the Draft. If the Dolphins were to sign Anderson to an offer sheet that the Browns felt was too rich for their taste, the Browns would receive the Dolphins first and third round picks in the upcoming Draft, the first round pick being the first overall pick in the Draft. Bill Parcells has already stated that he's not very comfortable with the amount of guaranteed money that the first overall pick in the draft commands, because it's an unproven player getting paid a boat-load of money. Parcells would likely be relieved if the Dolphins were able to sign a franchise type quarterback like Anderson for considerably less than what they would have to pay the first overall pick in the draft. The Dolphins would have to surrender their first and third round picks this year, but would still have three second round picks in the Draft to fill other needs on the team. Although it's unlikely that the Browns wouldn't match any offer sheet presented to Anderson, anything can happen once a player is allowed to test the market, even if he's a restricted free agent. The Seattle Seahawks learned the hard way when they tendered OG Steve Hutchinson, only to see him depart to the Minnesota Vikings because of a poison pill inserted into Hutchinson's contract offer. The Seahawks still regret letting Hutchinson slip away to this day.

First of all, you're not the only one who thinks giving up the first overall pick and the first pick of the second day is ludicrous.

Second of all, at the moment, we only have two second rounders.
 
the draft is in April.... we not even see the combine yet..... there is NO WAY, we gonna give up our first pick soon. i'd be shocked if something happens to it until draft
 
uh no stupid move. hes a 1 hit wonder as of this moment so why do that? 1 year proves ntn.
 
they don't have a 1st, they traded it to the cowboys. my big questions regarding this article was that it was stating that we had 5 picks in the 1st 3 rounds and 3 picks of those in the 2nd. The confused me.
 
where was the article from??? is it even a reliable source.... always gotta check, u never know whats out there

It's a bad source, my friend. Here's our picks:

Round 1, Pick 1

Round 2, Pick 1

Round 2, Pick 27

Round 3, Pick 1

Round 4, Pick 1

Round 6, Pick 1

Round 7, Pick 1

Could that be because he's only started 1 year? It's not like he's 30 years old, he's actually 2 years younger than our "young" QB of the future. I don't think he's come close to reaching his ceiling.
 
Um wtf...this is by far the worst idea I have ever heard on finheaven.com - i didnt even bother reading the article after i read the sum up....is Drew Brees even worth a #1 overall and the #65th or wherever our first 3rd rounder is?? Negative. Is Carson Palmer? Negative. Jake Delhomme? Negative. Is Peyton Manning/Tom Brady? Yes. So unless you think hes the next 1 of those guys, LOL then wtf is anyone thinking who even gives this a second thought.
