Sanchez appears to have the positive traits that Campbell doesn't have (which Snyder obviously covets) - being an on-field and off-field vocal leader, and a polished media image and demeanor.

His play on the field also has the potential to be better than Campbell, but at this point - there's too much media attention on his positives to be able to separate the hype from what's real. The game that USC lost to Oregon State may be a fluke game for Sanchez, but that's what left a bad impression with me on his play. He was off all game and I really thought he was the one who lost it for them.

I am not sold on him enough to trade up, but might be leaning on taking him at 13 (I would hate passing up on an OT or DE though). I think that he may be what the redskins are lacking because of his leadership skills and his on-field potential. Jason Campbell, for all that he has shown and done, still hasn't seemed to reach his potential even though he has played a few years in this league already. Much of this has to do with the redskins instability on offense, but this is the redskins way since snyder has been with the redskins and should now be accepted as one of the hazards to being a redskins qb (and player). Sanchez may also be a better fit to handle this.

So bottomline, it's all about drafting a potential leader for the redskins - on and off the field.
