Please Draft ??? at #13

[Eknox]

I'll take A Smith, because as much as I like Rey and Orapko the defense wasn't the real problem, and we did add Albert..

It occurred to me this morning, (probably way after everyone else), that the whole intent of the Cutler, and even moreso Sanchez, bluffs is to force Denver to use its early pick on Sanchez. This makes alot of sense to me, because clearly Denver picking right before us, and needing DE's, we want to impact their thinking and strategy as much as possible. Certainly, if Denver wants Sanchez, they would now believe that they have to get him no later than at their 12 spot.

Well that was my morning revelation. Wishful thinking sure leads to creative theories!

This is my dream scenario, especially if the OTs are gone.

I don't think this is just wishful thinking at all. I think you have successfully fingered the truth. I think it's all a frickin' ruse and it is working. I would add that this ruse also affects a possible trade-down with teams like the qb hungry Jets if Denver doesn't take the bait and Sanchez is there at 13. I rarely use this word to describe our FO but I think this ploy is brilliant.

Bro your optimism is admirable...and somewhat infectious. Like i said before if we somehow get a couple of legit guys for LB, OT or maybe DE from this draft you will all get so sick of me heaping luvy dovy praise on the FO.

Agreed, and 2 is being optimistic!

Finally something in writing about us looking to trade DOWN from 13...

They would consider doing that if USC quarterback Mark Sanchez is gone. What the Redskins think is some teams might be willing to get to the 13th pick in order to get Kansas State QB Josh Freeman. The Redskins might have a chance to get Sanchez if he falls to Jacksonville's pick at No. 8. Heap factor in Boldin talks? - ESPN

I think the bigger story is teams finally reaching out to us, we've been trying to trade down for a while now

The Freeman thing makes sense. Denver also might want to jump San Diego to get Tyson Jackson if they take someone other than Jackson at #12.

[VTSkins]

If Sanchez were there i'd draft him, front office has no confidence in JC. If not my next pick would be Oher. if Oher wasn't available then I would draft Maualuga. Orakpo injury issues makes me wary of him.

Speaking of crazy. Anyone see Tony Boselli on NFL Network last night. Guy has lost practically all of his playing weight. Reminds me a lot of Mark May.
