Mark Sanchez at 13th?

Enabling them to draft Jason Smith 1st overall, then take Sanchez with the 13th. we may only take Sanchez to trade him later for picks a-la Eli Manning.

It would be highway robbery to get picks #20 and #33 for 13, let alone a conditional pick. The bad thing about this Sanchez stuff is that absent the prospect of drafting the guy I would have been hoping he would fall to #13 so that the Redskins would be in better position to trade back. Now I have to hope that someone in the top 8 or so picks him (picks #13 and #80 take the Skins to pick #8 or #9 if they want to jump up for Sanchez).

On the surface I'd agree w/you, but if you really want a player, especially a QB, on draft day you've got to do whatever you can to move up. If the Skins have someone convinced that the player they want is at #13 & set the bar high for trades, then #20 & #33 for a QB isn't too much. We've seen recently that it took 2 1st rounders + for a franchise qb. I know a rookie isn't in the same boat, but if detroit likes him but doesn't want to take him at #1, trading w/us makes a lot of sense IMO, even if they give up 20 & 33.

I'm totally w/you on hoping he is there at 13, but only to increase our trade potential, not for us to draft him.

JLC is worthless if you are looking for inside info about the Redskins.

He has zero access, because he works for the Post. The long running fued between Dan Snyder and the Post is still ongoing and Snyder makes sure no one in the inner circle talks with JLC.

JLC is the writer of "Redskins Outsider."

I've found him to be reliable over the years, but I agree w/you that Snyder & co. have tried their hardest to limit access to the Post, and most media for that matter.

That said, now JLC is saying that "team & league sources" say we're interested in Sanchez;

I pray that Sanchez is off the board before #13, or that this talk is just a smoke screen.

Let's put it this way. If Snyder and Cerrato decided that they want to go after Sanchez why would they tell a single other person about it?

They wouldn't.

It's just bad business revealing your hand like that. Snyder is a smart businessman.

As the de facto GM all these years not so much.

Its a subconcious cry for help and negative feedback.

True, it didn't come out until after the draft that Cerrato was locked on Jerod Mayo. It was reported prior, but taken with a grain of salt.

We may very well be interested in Sanchez, but history shows 1) he's unlikely to be there at 13 and 2) we aren't likely to go up and get him.

I doubt it would be DS leaking this. It's most likely as innocent as JLC/Kiper talking to one of their FO friends. Kiper/JLC may have asked how the Sanchez workout went. The reply could have been that they really liked what they saw. They were really impressed.

Doesn't necessarily mean they will draft him. There is definately some interest on the skins side thought i would think.

You're right that it doesn't make sense. However, they made it known that they wanted Cutler when it made no sense to, thus risking any long term future with Campbell regardless of how he does this season. In both cases, I don't know if it's something that Snyerrato did on purpose or if it was leaked, but either way it doesn't really help them unless its a bluff to try to get someone like the Jets to trade down for the pick.

Then again, this whole thing is starting to remind me of a couple of years ago when everyone thought that Snyder had a man-crush on JeMarcus Russel and that he was preparing to trade up to the top spot to get him. At that time the team just said they were doing their due diligence, which may also be the case now with Sanchez.

It's a big org., they can't hide from everybody. The skins have a poor history of trying to keep secrets. Most stuff leaks well before there is an 'official statement' on it.

I certainly questioned the reports that they would go after Haynesworth, although they did a good job of keeping that one a secret until the few days before free agency.

Since they have this rep. they are in a perfect position to put up a smoke screen (hopefully not a "cheech & chong smoke screen" as Dirtbag said!).
I hope that's the case

Are you kidding?

Two years ago, many people on this board were freaking out, saying we already had Sean Taylor, when reports came out about this time saying the Skins were going to draft Laron Landry.

And last year about this time, even more people were freaking out, saying we've already got Anthony Mix, when reports came out saying the Skins were high on Malcolm Kelly.

We all know how that turned out. Face it. We'll most likely trade up to get Mark Sanchez. Hopefully, we can trade JC, so it at least makes some sense.

Yeah, and don't forget that in 2005, Len Pasquarelli broke the news a day or so before the draft that we were trading away our 2006 first rounder to Denver to get Jason Campbell.

I guess they keep the windows and doors open in our draft war room.

True, but last year at this time I think JLC had us taking Phillip Merling, Kiper had us taking Talib, and Mayock had us taking Sweed.
