Mark Sanchez at 13th?

Here's Kipers 2008 mock draft: Mel Kiper’s 2008 Mock NFL Draft reviewed | myMockDrafts.com He gets some things right and he's privy to a lot of information but his word is hardly gospel.

Vinny does this i will go on Redskins hiatus...until he's fired. I mean i've never thought seriously about it before but I will not be able to stand watching for a while.

Excellent link 53. By my count he got 7 picks right (less than 25%). He also had 6 picks in the first round who actually did not go until the second round, which shows his talent evaluation skills often are not shared by NFL front offices.

Two of which were Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas.

Sanchez at this spot would be another poor decision by the front office. With such enormous holes at OLB, DE and on the OL, how could they be thinking this right now? Better QB crop coming out next year if they want to go this route. We can win with Jason now, I'd say trade out of this pick, pick up more picks to address our needs...and forget about Sanchez, the guy really isnt that good for a 13th pick...........

53Fan · 04-11-2009, 03:47 PM

Is anyone else hoping the interest in Sanchez is just the Redskins trying to get a trade partner to trade down with?

I don't think the FO would draft Mack at 13 though personally I would, so a tradedown is probably our only chance to get him. I need to get over it but I can't help thinking about how much we could use that second round pick we gave up for JT. Maybe someone will trade up with us for Sanchez or someone else and we pick up another draft choice and find the best OT's were gone before the 13th pick anyway. Then we pick up Mack later in the first, Matthews, Maualuga, or one of the other good LB's falls and we pick him up with the other pick we got in the trade. And maybe I'll wake up in the morning and find Jessica Alba standing at the foot of my bed holding the 60 million dollar lottery check I won while I was sleeping. Man I can't wait until the draft gets here. I think we'll do something to help our team. I just don't know if we'll do the best thing to help our team. By the way GridIron26, just like you, I would love to see what Campbell could do without having to run for his life.

There is absolutely no reason to draft Mack at 13 if you can trade down and snag him later.

I think couple of these QB went to the Super Bowl and even had nice careers. Did the Ravens have a franchise QB in Dilfer and T. Banks ( Ex Redskin) when they won the Super Bowl? Did the Bears have a Franchise QB ( Grossman) when they lost to the Colts in the Super Bowl? Lets build our defense and O-line through the draft. Our Defense played great but they don't make enough game changing plays any more due to a lack of impact players such as Sean Taylor and Lavar Arrington. Lets stop trying to fined a so called Franchise QB and lets improve our defense to be Nasty like B-more and the Steelers. I live 45min. away from Los Angeles and I see USC games all season, I like Sanchez but not for our team cause we have QB that we have invested in so lets not give up on him so soon like the other former Redskin QB's we had. Lets Draft the best OL or Defensive Impact player.

non-reactionary logic, I kinda like it

And if you can't trade down and don't take him at 13, you don't get him at all. It all depends on how much you value a high quality center who has the potential to be a pro bowl player for years. I would prefer to trade down and take him, but if I could'nt, then I would take him at 13.

could just mean that somebody in that organization had something different in mind

I can hardly fault a guy for making those decisions, doubt many people could do much better.. you never know what's going on in the FO's of a team, if they're gonna draft for need or BPA or what, it's not the science that some people make it out to be, he's gotta mock it and of course he won't get it all right

Actually Kiper gets paid to talk to those FO folks and have some idea about what they have in mind. Otherwise ESPN is wasting the money that they pay him. Put differently, why should we read his mock drafts if he doesn't know any more than we do?

The reason I posted the link was to show why, I for one, take what he says with a grain of salt. Just because he says it, doesn't make it so. If more than a couple of these guys say the same thing, there may be some merit to it. But Kiper is not the know-all, end-all of the NFL draft. NOBODY is sure who is going to pick who, except the guys making the picks. And even they don't know until they see how the draft falls. Nothings wrong with an educated guess, but it is what it is, a guess.
