Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?

Given that Cleavland (evidently) prefers Sanchez and Anderson to Quinn (why are they even looking at Sanchez when they have those two?), it made sense to me that we would be trading for QUINN, after Cleavland selected Sanchez. So, I think its entirely possible that a senario similar to this could happen:
Brady Quinn and Braylon Edwards to Washington for our #13 and Fred Davis (and probably another player)
This would also explain why:
1. The Browns are looking at QBs when they just drafted one in the 1st round. (New coach wants to pick his own guy)
2. There were rumors of Cooley being traded to Cleveland (right position, wrong player)
3. The Browns have yet to trade Edwards. (Our deals better)
In the end, the Browns would get rid of two players they dont really want while picking up a 1st rounder and a starter, and we'd get the "franchise" QB and "stud" WR covetted by Snyder for so long, while only giving up our 2009 1st rounder and a starting caliber TE who is stuck behind a pro-bowler. We'd probably have to give up something else (possibly Santana Moss, ARE, or D. Thomas), but in the end, both sides would get what they covet, without having to give up anything they really wanted.
Again, thats all pure speculation, but its just a possibility that occurred to me after reading Kings article today.

I wouldn't mind this scenario, however we'll be giving up more than our # 1 and Davis to make it happen. Currently the market for Edwards is a #1 & #3-#4 pick. Quinn was #21 (or therabout). So in your scenario, we'd wind up with a either Edwards or Quinn, not both.
I'm a big ND fan, but am definitely not a fan of giving up our # 1 this year for Quinn or using it on Sanchez. These are unproven commodities when we have at worst a decent QB. IMO, JC is on the cusp of being very good.
