Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?
The bottom line on this move is that it does not address the key deficiencies of this team (age and depth). There is absolutely no reason to run out and address the quarterback position. At least if you were going to shoot your wad for Jay Cutler you knew you were getting a supremely talented player who has proven he can play on a high level at the NFL. I would have been extremely upset by the move, but at least you had some idea of the player you were getting on the field.
With Sanchez you are getting a kid that you will have to pay $35 million guaranteed and you really don't know what you are going to get from him. You are scrapping what you had with Campbell and giving up opportunity costs by not drafting a potential starter at OL or LB or DL. It assumes that quarterback was the major reason for the Redskins second half collapse. If they are so dead-set on getting rid of Campbell, just wait until next year, let him walk, and make a move for a QB in a much more QB rich draft. That is the thing that baffles me. Sanchez isn't John Elway (or even Jay Cutler) why are you going to throw tons of draft picks and money away to get the guy? If he falls to you maybe you say you couldn't pass him up, but jumping ten spots to get him makes no sense at all.
