Don't get me wrong, I think Dobson is a great top 4 D man, but alone is simply not enough.

If it were, I'd argue an offer of Andersson + Mews + 18 could guarantee us the 2nd OA pick as that would be a stronger offer.
The big advantage of Dobson is his age. He can be signed for all of his prime years for 8 years. While Anderson can be signed for 8 years also, you'll get mostly non-prime years.

That changes trade value drastically.

If San Jose trades the 2oa, they'll want a premium young dman with term. That's not Anderson. It could be Dobson.
