If this is a serious inquisition, I will give you a few reasons NOT to draft Sanchez.

1. There is a risk factor with all draft picks, just different levels. Sanchez would be a high risk pick. The succession rate of junior qb's coming out of college are not great. Sanchez has had only one good full season at USC.

2. The Cutler deal aside, the Redskins need to see what they have in Jason Campbell. There were multiple picks (including a first), and a lot of effort and time involved in acquiring him. Campbell has had just over two seasons worth of starts and considering the tumultuous set of circumstances- he should be given at least another year to prove his value to the team.

3. There will be better, more proven sure-fire qb's available in next year's draft.

4. Because Sanchez would be such a risky pick, it would be in the teams best interest to go with offensive line or defense which are said to be greater needs- especially with so few first day picks. O lineman taken in the first round are collectively more successful than qb's.

I think most fans are in agreement that this is "make or break" time for Jason. If he does not make the next big step in his development this year, than it's obvious the skins will have to look in a different direction come 2010.

To take a gamble on a fairly unproven kid like Sanchez would more than likely set this franchise back even farther. While there may be some up side to drafting him, it's far too many chips to push in the pot when the stacks are and have been dwindling.
