Mark Sanchez at 13th?

Nope. The Sanchez talk is all a ruse. The good thing is that it had fooled many people, which was the goal of the talk all along.

Angry is correct. Sanchez is not really on the radar.

If this was several months ago where it was thought that Sanchez might still be around at 13 you might have a point. We really don't have a lot of reason to hype Sanchez without being in a position to pick him, where's the benefit?

I might be misunderstanding your post...but if I understand question correctly, the benefit of hyping another player you have no intention of drafting is the teams drafting ahead of you will take the player you are hyping instead of the player you realyl want, like an Okrapo, a LB or an OT.
We really need an OT, DE, LB or C.
A Qb would be a luxury pick. Especially if we have give up future picks or another player to get Sanchez.
I personally do not think Sanchez is worth giving up future picks to move up to get. Sanchez has publicly stated he wants to go to Seattle.

I get that but we pretty much already knew he wasn't going to fall to us. I haven't seen that from Sanchez, but I thought that he was pretty high on all of the teams that he visited, not just Seattle; I haven't looked into it either though.

If I remember the projections right a lot of beginning mocks had all the OT's and DE's being gone by the time it got to our pick at 13. If, by feigning interest in Sanchez, we put pressure on at least one team ahead of us to get him instead of a DE/OT, then we have a better chance of having a player of need fall to us, plus if the 2nd of 3 first round qb's go, we increase the chance of a qb hungry team trading up to get Freeman at our spot.

So a perfect scenario now, may be: Denver, worried we were going to take Sanchez, drafts him at 12, then New York, thinking we are dissatisfied enough with Campbell to take Freeman, trades with us at 13 giving us there 1st and 2nd or 3rd to get Freeman. Thus we would have leveraged our supposed disinterest in JC to having multiple picks, and getting Mack, or another quality player that feels an area of need.

That is one of the better scenarios, though I don't think Denver goes QB with either of their picks and I think Sanchez goes before #12. But the logic still holds, I suspect you are giving the F.O. too much cred, but we can hope.

Good post and this is exactly what I'm hoping for. Vinny could surprise some people and this could actually happen. It makes the most sense, and is what I thought we were up to when all this crap about Sanchez started. Of course the more you hear, the harder it is to believe that we're not really after him, and that this is all just a smokescreen, but if it is.....well played FO.....well played.
