Mark Sanchez at 13th?

GridIron26

I really hope that is the case; I truly dread the idea of drafting Sanchez.. If we draft Sanchez, we pretty much can assume that JC and Zorn are not going to come back for next year.. Therefore, our new coach would be stuck with Sanchez, the one who was not part of the part when the FO decides to draft Sanchez.. I'm pretty sure our new coach would want to draft his own QB such as McCoy or Tebow or whoever else.. That would not be pretty good scenario..

Yeah, JLC is blogging that the danny now is "smitten" w/Sanchez. This is unusual in that usually JLC has the scoop first. I started hearing the sanchez stuff from the warpath via Kiper. I don't recall JLC posting anything about sanchez, e.g. inside sources say Snyder & Vinny want to draft Sanchez.

Regardless, Kiper & now JLC are saying Sanchez. I'm sadly inclined to defer to their professionalism (which I respect in both); there must be some truth to the Danny's desire to draft Sanchez.

I'm hoping that some team in the top 10 nabs him, or that finally the FO actually fools some teams & pulls off a major trade to get more picks.

It would be highway robbery to get picks #20 and #33 for 13, let alone a conditional pick. The bad thing about this Sanchez stuff is that absent the prospect of drafting the guy I would have been hoping he would fall to #13 so that the Redskins would be in better position to trade back. Now I have to hope that someone in the top 8 or so picks him (picks #13 and #80 take the Skins to pick #8 or #9 if they want to jump up for Sanchez).

A few things....first, where has JLC said that Danny is smitten with Sanchez? I haven't seen that anywhere. Second, shouldn't Mike Florio have been drawn to this like flies to sh!t? I mean he's the first one that fires off a story about a Redskins controversy.

If we draft Sanchez at 13th, then you can kiss a winning season goodbye. (Because I'd imagine they would get rid of Campbell)

Read this post from the insider:

Redskins Insider - Keep an Eye on Toler in 3rd Round of Draft

What surpised me about it was there was no 'heads up' post like JLC usually does. Typically if he gets something its on the blog.

Come to think of it, after earlier saying I had to trust his reporting, the way he stated this might mean that he's only read the same stuff as us. If he has a source he'll state it as an "unamed source" or such.

As several on here have said, JLC might not have the sources inside redskins part anymore.

On the surface I'd agree w/you, but if you really want a player, especially a QB, on draft day you've got to do whatever you can to move up. If the Skins have someone convinced that the player they want is at #13 & set the bar high for trades, then #20 & #33 for a QB isn't too much. We've seen recently that it took 2 1st rounders + for a franchise qb. I know a rookie isn't in the same boat, but if detroit likes him but doesn't want to take him at #1, trading w/us makes a lot of sense IMO, even if they give up 20 & 33.

I'm totally w/you on hoping he is there at 13, but only to increase our trade potential, not for us to draft him.

I've found him to be reliable over the years, but I agree w/you that Snyder & co. have tried their hardest to limit access to the Post, and most media for that matter.

That said, now JLC is saying that "team & league sources" say we're interested in Sanchez;

Redskins Insider - Skins' Interest in Sanchez Still Strong

I pray that Sanchez is off the board before #13, or that this talk is just a smoke screen.

This would be a stupid move before the fifth round. Toler for starters is projected as an undrafted free agent by ESPN. Sure guys get drafted later and earlier then expected but not 4 rounds early.

Right now it's looking more like a cheech and chong smoke screen.

Yeah, there's probably some truth to it i would guess. Multiple people reporting this. I didn't hear what Kiper said, but if he reporting the Skins interest than there is some truth to it. Now, the draft has got to play out. It's almost like the DS dinner w/ AH's agent or the Cutler infactuation rumors...both were just rampant speculation..cough cough.

Dirtbag59

Its a subconcious cry for help and negative feedback.

True, it didn't come out until after the draft that Cerrato was locked on Jerod Mayo. It was reported prior, but taken with a grain of salt.

We may very well be interested in Sanchez, but history shows 1) he's unlikely to be there at 13 and 2) we aren't likely to go up and get him.

I doubt it would be DS leaking this. It's most likely as innocent as JLC/Kiper talking to one of their FO friends. Kiper/JLC may have asked how the Sanchez workout went. The reply could have been that they really liked what they saw. They were really impressed.

Doesn't necessarily mean they will draft him. There is definately some interest on the skins side thought i would think.
