Peter King's MMQB leads with the notion that Snyder is determined to get Sanchez.
Mark Sanchez, Daniel Snyder, Scott Pioli pivotal in NFL Draft - Peter King - SI.com
I still assert that if Cutler never became available and Snyder's appetite for a shiny new QB wasn't whetted then we'd not be having this discussion. The one positive in the article is that a source near Snyder says he won't allow next year's #1 pick included in any trade but come Saturday, we'll see what happens.

I mean, again, I'm just spit-balling here, but yeah, you've gotta think that the first Hispanic Franchise QB is going to be a goldmine. And you've gotta think Snyder knows this. I mean, he's taking the guy out to eat... this thing's getting done... utterly ridiculous.

Great, great point! I think there is something to that because we all know that Snyder is about marketing and sales above virtually anything else. It's going to be an interesting, if not torturous week.
