Mark Sanchez at 13th?

Hell even if JC is playing well people will want to talk about what the long term plans are for Sanchez. Until he gets on the field, it will be a major talking point.

Nobody loves a QB controversy quite like DC and we'll have yet another epic one on our hands. I just don't like it.

I think we're going to fool everyone and actually trade down for Josh Freeman...just kidding.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of drafting Sanchez unless it's coupled with a trade of Campbell and we just say "Ok Mark, you're the man now dog" And then we just have a Derek Anderson/Brady Quinn thing with Sanchez and Brennan.

Yeah I guess if it's going to happen, might as well go all the way and just get rid of JC now and plug in Sanchez right away. That would at least take care of any QB controversy and the team could move forward right away.

Seems like it would be the logical thing to do; of course we wouldn't get much for Campbell nor give him the chance to raise his stock in this coming year. But if we keep Campbell and did draft Sanchez, Campbell does very well, you're looking at getting rid of one of them in the not so distant future. Way too much money tied up into a single position otherwise.

Peter King is saying that point wise (I know that doesn't mean a whole lot) we'd have to give our 1st, 3rd & 5th, plus next years 1st to trade up to number 3?

That's frickin terrible. If we do that, it's gonna be awfully hard to watch the draft for me. If we were to trade up, we have to find a way to do it without using all of our picks.

Are we doing this knowing we could get a 2nd (unlikely) or 3rd for Campbell to another team?

So we'd nbasically have a 2nd rounder, and what's our other pic, 7th round? We'd have a 1,2 & 7. No way we are gonna fill all of our needs with that.

I keep telling myself that this is a smoke screen, but the more I hear what's being discussed with Snyder being smitten, and us trading up, it make me wanna hurl.

Keep in mind we've reportedly been "smitten" with draft picks out of our range in the past.

Snyder: Redskins Are on Right Track - washingtonpost.com

Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson is considered by many teams to be the best player available in the draft, and the Redskins are smitten with him as well, sources said, mulling over options to trade up to get him (the team has shopped cornerback Shawn Springs to Detroit, which has the second overall pick, again in recent weeks). Completing such a trade would be difficult -- perhaps impossible -- without including next year's first-round pick. That, according to Snyder, means that it is imperative that the team identify the best possible candidate for the sixth pick. Snyder has watched Johnson and others work out, and meets with most top prospects.

Yeah and didn't Gibbs say that they weren't willing to part with next years picks? If so there's no such control this time around.

And when did we come out and say we're willing to part with next years picks for Sanchez?

Reading between the lines, i think its probable that Snyder wont package our 2010 first rounder in any trade because he knows Cowher, Shanahan, Holmgreen, or Gruden will want that pick... ugh.

Per Peter King:

Yay! A 1st, 3rd, and future 2nd is way better! Yay! This isn't representative of a complete lack of perspective on the deficiencies of this franchise at all. The Skins aren't old or lacking depth, they are just missing a rookie QB with 16 career college starts and who lacks arm strength. Yay!

Are you saying ugh to another change in general or to those specific options? I think the only legitimate option there would be Gruden. Cowher is very close to Marty-strike one. Shanahan is very close to Jerry Jones-strike two. If we're talking to Holmgren that means we just fired one of his proteges-strike three.

I'd think any move at the QB position would mean that Zorn gets at least 3 more years to develop and try to win with him. You don't draft a rookie QB and then up and fire a QB 'guru' after one season. That's just moronic, even for Snyder standards.

The more I think of it, maybe the Sanchez move is Snyder admitting we're not one player away from a championship and he wants to build from the QB position outward. In a best case scenario, if he drafts Sanchez, combined with the receivers we drafted last year, in a couple of years we could have a dynamic offense with a group of young players (Sanchez, Thomas, Kelly, Cooley, Davis) that can play together for 5-8 years at a high level a la the Colts (Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Clark). I'm not endorsing the move, just trying to think like Snyder. The other thought could be that with Haynesworth and Hall he feels we have enough of a defense to win with a rookie QB not making mistakes just like the Ravens did last year. I think he's fooling himself if he feels our D is on par with theirs but he may think that's the case.

I really hope we don't have the ammo to go get him. If we trade up for anyone I hope it's Orapko.

I don't think it's a smokescreen anymore, the question is how high of a price is Snyder willing to pay?

[SFREDSKIN]

Cowherd was ripping the Skins on the radio this morning about how Campbell has been lied to over and over and how his self steem must be after all the lying the FO has done.

The fool Snyder doesn't realize, or has somehow forgotten in a matter of months, that no great coach respects him or his franchise (Gibbs is another matter).

I hope you're wrong, but if not, hopefully there's another team (ala the Bears) that will save us from DS's stupidity and put together a better deal to grab Sanchez.

I'm with SC Skins....WTF is DS so enamored with a one year wonder (at USC no less) with sub-par arm strength ?????
