In some ways this year reminds me of the 2002 draft. There was a clear No. 1 QB (David Carr) and the next guy (Joey Harrington) shot up the boards a bit during the "Draft Season" (i.e. - Feb-April) that Danny was, by all accounts, in love with. DS tried to trade up to get Harrington, but wasn't able to because he wouldn't pay the price to move up to no. 3. Instead, he traded down from 18 twice (to 21 and then 32) picking up a couple of third rounders and still getting a QB he liked- Patrick Ramsey.

I liken Sanchez to Harrington - they both seem to became media darlings during the drive to the draft.

BTW - The players picked as a result of the trades: Ramsey, Rashad Bauman, Ladell Betts and Greg Scott.

The two players picked in the first round in the slots we traded out of: T.J. Duckett (18) and Daniel Graham (21). Also, the player picked 31st? Our new linebacker, Robert Thomas.
