If Stafford was to drop down past #1, this would increase our chances to draft Sanchez (unless some teams value Sanchez higher than Stafford)..

But like the article said, this might be just a smokescreen..

Nice link GridIron26. I was convinced at the beginning of this Sanchez talk that it was all a smokescreen because it made absolutely no sense to me to use our first pick on a QB with JC entering his 2nd year in the WCO. Plus our other obvious needs. Unfortunately because of the past behavior of our owner, the more this goes on the less convinced I am. My hope would be that Danny has learned how to play the game and all this was just posturing for better trade value or a better choice for our 1rst round pick. If this turns out to be the case, I would say Snyder has truly learned how to use his reputation to his advantage and would have to give him props for a job well done. For my own sanity I'm going to take the same road as Lotus and just believe this to be a smokescreen to help me get through until Saturday.

Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?
 

You know, last year Malcolm Kelly was quite surprised that we drafted him. He said that we barely spoke to him before the draft.

I mention this because if this is the modus operandi of our FO, this means that Sanchez MUST be a smokescreen. If we like to keep our choices on the way-way-down-low, Sanchez cannot be one of our choices.

Continuing this line of thought, Ayers said the same thing when asked about being drafted by us - "They've hardly spoken to me." Perhaps, then, the plan is to take Ayers at 13.

The Ayers part is my weaker argument here. My stronger argument is that trading up for Sanchez does not fit our past pre-draft behavior.

Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?
 

why in the hell are looking at Sanchez????? JC, under Zorn's watch and in
one set offense for a while, will do fine as long as He's not on his ass... So
draft OL and DL and bring back Marcus for 1 or 2 more years.

Could be. You know, no one outside of the respective front offices knows what we offered for Cutler. We could have offered a loaf of bread. But one speculative news report said that we offered the farm and then that report got reprinted over and over and over...Like the Nazi Goering said, a lie told often enough becomes the truth.

In truth we may never have been serious about Cutler, we may have just been playing with everyone else. If so, it worked.

That's a tough pull. Kelly wasn't our first pick nor did we get exactly who we wanted in the 2nd. Hell he was our 3rd pick in the 2nd.

If Malcolm Kelly was surprised we drafted him then he isn't too bright. DS and a contingent of Skins people, including Jason Campbell, flew to Norman to work him out personally prior to the draft.

[quote=53Fan;547861]I agree Lotus. We also had no idea we were thinking of taking Mayo. I certainly don't remember any mocks having us taking him. This is what gives me hope. :)[/quote]

Mayo might not have been on any mocks (because most mocks are worthless), but we knew he had a personal visit to Redskins Park and I think JLC even had a blog post about the team being interested in him. Probably if you search this site you can find some talk about it someplace.

My point is not to disparage your memories, but to say that I actually do not think that the Skins operate very well in the cloak and dagger department. They try really hard sometimes, but the stories seem to get out. Just off the top of my head, Albert Haynesworth's agent dining with DS at the combine, "secret" private workout with Jason Campbell prior to the 2005 draft, Lance Briggs talk, and the list can go on. Not everything happens, but there is usually some fire behind the smoke. I think the M.O. with this F.O. is that if the stories are out there with more substance than "x high profile free agent is available, the Redskins must be interested" then they usually have some legs.

When the Redskins do deal in smokescreens they are of the "we are not interested in Jason Taylor" and then trade for Jason Taylor variety. Usually the intentions of ownership are fairly obvious by their actions unless they just lie about their intentions.

You are correct about the Skins going to Norman to work out Kelly. But you are overlooking the "we like you, we like you" banter that is part of the process. Apparently we never gave Kelly that vibe although clearly we did like him. We made it look even to Kelly that we were just doing due diligence without real interest. With Sanchez we've done the opposite - very obvious wining and dining, no denials of news reports, etc.

You are correct that sometimes we have failed miserably at cloak-and-dagger. But such antics have worked on other occasions. And the whole trade-up-to-get-Sanchez thing is so blatant, there is no attempt at cloak-and-dagger, not even a failed attempt. It makes me think that it is all a ruse.

As for lying, that is precisely what I am accusing the Skins of. However, it is lying for strategy, as in poker. So let's use the milder term: bluffing.

BHA, that could be. My memory could be failing me in terms of who it was. I'll trust you that it was Thomas.

My point remains unchanged, however. Whether it was Thomas or Kelly, we successfully ignored a guy we really liked. And we have not been "ignoring" Sanchez.

I found this part pretty interesting

[quote=JLC on Redskins Insider]
"It was later in our dinner [Friday night] that Mr. Snyder started asking me the tough questions, and he was totally honest and upfront," Sanchez said. "He's proud of the guys they have here, and he thinks the world of Jason Campbell, and that was obvious. He said that if I come in, it's a competition, and nothing will be given to me, and he makes no promises. And that's way I want it. I don't want there to be anything promised or for anyone to be talking bad about players, because then in a few years they might be doing that with me.

I don't doubt what you're saying SC Skins Fan. I wasn't a member of the Warpath until June of last year, well after the draft. But as an outsider (outside of the Warpath) all I remember hearing about was Talib, Sweed, Merling, and Calais Campbell. I'm sure there were others, but with Marcus, London and Rocky here, I wasn't hearing much about Mayo. I do think Snyder was interested in Sanchez, he seems to fall in love very quickly, but he seems to fall out of love just as quick in some cases. I think he may have cooled somewhat (maybe he's actually listening to Zorn and Cerrato) and this may work to our advantage. At least that's what I'm hoping. :) If this is what has actually happened, he can always play it off as it was all a smokescreen to get who we really wanted, or to increase our chances of trading down. Public relations wise he would come across as looking pretty smart. I only hope he is that smart.

Zorn, Snyder, Cerrato, and Campbell flew out to wherever the heck Kelly was and Campbell threw him balls. The skins made no secret about the fact they wanted Kelly - they just had no intention of taking him in the 1st round. Going into the draft last year, I was pretty confident we'd do our best to draft Kelly and we did. It wasnt a surprise to anyone. Drafting Davis was a shocker, and drafting Kelly [i]after getting Thomas[/i/] was pretty surprising at that point, but the skins were just as outwardly vocal about their love for Kelly as they are with Sanchez now.

If we learned one thing from Cerrato last year its that his philosophy is to:

1) Trade down if possible
2) Take the BPA reguarldless of need (drafting TE Fred Davis and then drafting Kelly after alraedy landing Thomas).

This year, i beleive Cerrato wants to do the same: Trade down with the goal of selecting a certain player at a position of need he covets without reaching.

Last year, we traded down with the goal of selecting Merling with our 1st 2nd rounder and a Notre Dame DT with our 2nd, but Miami and Philly nabbed them right before us - leading to the Thomas and Davis picks. Cerrato specifically said that they only selected him because their primary target was gone, he was a receiver they thought theyd have no shot at drafting, but he was the highest rated player remaining on their board and he was still there - unbeleivably - at 34, so drafting him was a "no-brainer."

In 2009, Cerrato is probably interested in trading down in the 1st round, picking up a 2nd rounder, and drafting one of the 3 USC LBs or a 2nd tier OT with the lower 1st round pick and a guy like Brandon Albert with the 2nd round pick we acquired. But who knows, we could fail to get the player we target (like last year) and end up taking something else that doesnt necessarily fill a need.

If its up to Cerrato, i think we'll trade down with someone who wants to jump ahead of other teams take Josh Freeman at 13. Its almost certain that Sanchez will be taken by the 4th pick, and if that happens, teams wanting a QB will get ancy and trade up. Trust me, it will happen. Given that Snyder has showed no confidence in Campbell, teams will legitimately fear we may take Freeman if they dont trade with us. If not, they'll trade with us because they know we want to trade down and they want to jump head of another team who would take Freeman with their pick.

However, all of this could be moot, because its possible the decision isnt up to Cerrato and Snyder will make a trade up to nab Sanchez. We'll find out in about 78 hours.

Teams all over the league do it. But it's a "big deal" with us because we're one of just a few teams where the owner joins everyone for dinner. In most other cases, the owner meets the player in his office or at the team's facilities.

I don't care about taking guys out to dinner cause we all know this is Snyder's time of year. This is his Super Bowl and we likes to make noise during the off season. He loves to wine and dine.

Peppers, besides being too expensive for our cap, really wants to play in a 3-4, not our 4-3. My guess is that he would be unmotivated with us and would not be the Peppers that we'd hoped for.
