Campbell will ask for trade if Redskins draft a QB

But no one actually thinks Sanchez could be really good, or that Campbell may not reach a much higher level? I mean I'd prefer to keep Campbell for at least one more year. But it's interesting how almost everyone is convinced that we're ruining everything by taking Sanchez.

I can't speak for everyone SS, but this is why I have a problem with drafting Sanchez. I don't agree with everything we've done in the last year but it seems we were on the right course. We improved ourselves in Free Agency. Campbell improved in Zorns first year and showed glimpses of what we'd like to see. Our rookies have a year under their belts. We've identified our needs...O-Line-OLB, and DE. My own expectations were that in Zorns second year, we would get some o-line and pass rushing help in the draft, add some youth, and build on what Campbell had learned his first year. Now Sanchez may be good. Personally I think he has as much chance to join our Biggest Bust List as he does of being a good QB. And why take that chance right now? If we've identified our biggest needs as O-Line, DE, and OLB, why are we drafting a QB when it hasn't been identifed as one of our biggest needs with our #1 pick and giving up (in all likelyhood) needed draft choices to get him? It's not like he has Peyton Manning written all over him. Even Matthew Stafford is rated higher than him by most experts. If we improve our team in the draft at the positions of need and Campbell does'nt work out this year, we can always draft a QB next year and he can come to a team that is better prepared to win. Like I said, Sanchez may be a good QB, but we still have'nt addressed our positions of need if we trade away the limited amount of picks we have for him, and if he's not....which is something I think any FO should consider, what then?
