Certainly, if Denver wants Sanchez, they would now believe that they have to get him no later than at their 12 spot.

Well that was my morning revelation. Wishful thinking sure leads to creative theories!
I don't think this is just wishful thinking at all. I think you have successfully fingered the truth. I think it's all a frickin' ruse and it is working. I would add that this ruse also affects a possible trade-down with teams like the qb hungry Jets if Denver doesn't take the bait and Sanchez is there at 13. I rarely use this word to describe our FO but I think this ploy is brilliant.
