If, for some reason, no one trades with Cleavland, and they pass on Sanchez, then then Jacksonville becomes the next team (8th pick), where I can see Snyder and other teams trading in to get him.

Anyway, assuming the Skins traded with Cleavland to select Sanchez, then we have to look at what they would want - our first and third our no-brainers. And assuming Cleavland trades Edwards to the Giants as has been rumored, they would have a need at receiver. Santana Moss is one of our only players with trade value, and a couple of months ago, it was reported by a reliable source that the Skins had made quiet inquiries to other teams on their interest in Moss (and Rogers)... so thats why i had us throwing Moss in the package.

Trading Moss aside, anyway you look at it, if we trade up for Sanchez, there are two problems:

1) We are left without another pick until the 5th round
2) We need to get rid of Jason Campbell, who can probably not get us a 2nd round compensation at this point.

To solve problem #1, do you really think Snyder would think twice about trading our 1st round pick next year for a 2nd this year? Given our dire need of o-line help to protect our new franchise QB, this move really becomes a necessity. If Snyder is really trying to replicate Atlantas success last year, he'd do what they did - draft a franchise QB first and then get some oline help.

To solve problem #2, Snyder would try to work a deal with the Jets - they have an obvious need at QB and we just took the guy they were taking - so i'm thinking a 3rd and 4th is what we'd get.

As I said before, its just wild speculation, but those moves are what i think the skins would be forced to do if they traded up for Sanchez - something that is becoming more and more of a possibility every day it seems (whether we like it or not).

That's a pretty big assumption that our FO could pull of a trade including Jason Campbell at all, much less for a 2nd round pick. If they take Sanchez, everyone knows Campbell's gone, and if it's not during the draft, he'll be a FA next offseason. There's absolutely no motivation for another team to give up anything for JC if we go get Sanchez.
