Mark Sanchez at 13th?

[Gmanc711]

I really think this is just some buzz to generate interest in trading down... if we take Sanchez, I really am going to lose all hope for this front office. Its not like its a can't miss guy like Peyton Manning or something... this guy is a project too, just like Jason Campbell.... forgetting for a second that we have about a million other holes on the team, if we drafted Sanchez, it would only be 2 years before we said F--- it with him and drafted another guy....

Rumors like this should just be dismissed...but because were the Redskins... hey, Ya never know...

I agree. If we take Sanchez at 13 this front office is hopeless. They have no plan on building a team by degrees. I am quickly losing interest in football and I think it is mainly because of potential moves like this one. There is no coherent plan for this team. They are not grounded with any principles and just go willy nilly trying to build a team. They will not be successful with that approach. I thought they may have learned that but no.

Why waste a pick on Sanchez? Get something that you really need, like a LB, OL or PR. Next year is the year of the QB's, not this year. C'mon FO.

Have we worked out any other QB's? No. You'd think that if we wanted a qb we'd do due diligence and work out several of them.

We've only worked out the ONE qb who MIGHT be available at 13.

The more I think about it, the more I see a smokescreen or due diligence for a trade down.

A draft with Sanchez in the first and Toler in the third would be a disaster. Of course I can see the press conference now.

"Vinny how come you didn't draft any O-Lineman."

"Well we got Derrick, so I'd say we improved the O-Line."

"So you basically made sure that the position last year that saw the best play was just as good this year if not better then last year?"

"Yes, and now we have more skinny guys. Besides you don't want to many of those fat guys, they'll make your health insurance premiums go through the roof."

"What about Albert Haynesworth?"

"He's so rich now he can start his own health insurance company"


"Some people say that you only care about drafting skill positions what do you say to that"

"Absoulutley not we looked at all these guys that weren't very skilled......like me"

"Yes Vinny but you don't ever draft them."

"We're....just waiting for the......the one."

"What are you reading Cosmo or something."

"Maybe"

dude, you're on a roll! The creative juices are flowing, love the Haynesworth/fat guy lines!

I think we're going running back in the 3rd round, just a gut feeling

I take it you'd like Javon Ringer in the third? I wouldn't mind drafting a guy like Jeremiah Johnson or Devin Moore with our fifth round pick.

[Dirtbag59]

To be honest I'm not totally opposed to taking Sanchez, but to take a DB or RB in the 3rd round as well would just be overkill. At the very least if they had signed Ray Willis none of this would have been a problem. Right now though their best option if they choose not to draft a Tackle is to sign Kwame Harris and hope like hell that he can be developed.

Thanks, I try.

Disagree. I think we'll go RB at some point in this draft. We need a change of pace for Portis. We've got to give him 5 or so less carries per game this year for durability purposes, and Betts just isn't a good replacement at this point. Kory Sheets or Javon Ringer. Both would very solid additions. If only we had that 2nd and/or 4th rounder.

Funny you should mention it. The RB position coach earlier in the offseason mentioned he would like a change of pace back. Like a Scat back. We did pick up two in the offseason already though.

I would be all for keeping one of the new RB's as a change of pace. Keep the other on practice squad. Then go after a big bruising RB to spell Portis once and a while. Then get rid of both Rock and Betts...perhaps in trades.

That seems to be a recurring theme lately -- many have lost faith in Ladell Betts. The real problem is that Betts never got enough carries in '08 to justify this feeling.

There really isn't any point in drafting another RB if he's only going to get 60 or 70 attempts all season while Portis gets over 300.

any one in particular?

[mrreddman]

Sanchez has to be a smokescreen. I mean our FO can't really be that stupid could they?
I think he will be a fine QB, but like most QB's it's gonna take a few years to even get to JC's current level. I think he would be nice value at #13, but just not a good fit in any way for this team considering our needs. And if we trade up to get him??...that would be INSANE!
We have too many other needs and not enough picks to consider taking any QB in this draft. Now if they traded JC to the Jets for #17 or Lions at #20 I might think about Sanchez at #13, but that is highly unlikely. We have to get a RT, SLB and hopefully a DE somehow out of this draft.

Not to change the subject but if Raji fell to #13..should the skins take him? Slide Big Al to DE and our DL would be straight!

If Raji fell to 13 I might just take him, but I would not slide AH to DE. Instead I'd trade one of our other DT's and just be badass up the middle on D.
