Mark Sanchez at 13th?

Here's Kipers 2008 mock draft: Mel Kiper’s 2008 Mock NFL Draft reviewed | myMockDrafts.com (http://mymockdrafts.com/2008/03/08/mel-kipers-2008-mock-nfl-draft-reviewed/) He gets some things right and he's privy to a lot of information but his word is hardly gospel.

Excellent link 53. By my count he got 7 picks right (less than 25%). He also had 6 picks in the first round who actually did not go until the second round, which shows his talent evaluation skills often are not shared by NFL front offices.

Two of which were Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas.

Sanchez at this spot would be another poor decision by the front office. With such enormous holes at OLB, DE and on the OL, how could they be thinking this right now? Better QB crop coming out next year if they want to go this route. We can win with Jason now, I'd say trade out of this pick, pick up more picks to address our needs...and forget about Sanchez, the guy really isnt that good for a 13th pick...........

Is anyone else hoping the interest in Sanchez is just the Redskins trying to get a trade partner to trade down with?

I am sure that it has been reported, but Mel Kiper believes that "his good friend Vinny is has something up his sleave". He went on to say he thinks that the Redskins are going to trade up to get Sanchez.

eff my life if this happens

I agree but honestly I doubt one of the top OT's will be available at 13. It's possible, but a potentially elite OT is valuable and hard to find. I think teams are more likely to gamble on an OT than some of the other positions. I don't think the FO would draft Mack at 13 though personally I would, so a tradedown is probably our only chance to get him. I need to get over it but I can't help thinking about how much we could use that second round pick we gave up for JT. Maybe someone will trade up with us for Sanchez or someone else and we pick up another draft choice and find the best OT's were gone before the 13th pick anyway. Then we pick up Mack later in the first, Matthews, Maualuga, or one of the other good LB's falls and we pick him up with the other pick we got in the trade. And maybe I'll wake up in the morning and find Jessica Alba standing at the foot of my bed holding the 60 million dollar lottery check I won while I was sleeping. Man I can't wait until the draft gets here. I think we'll do something to help our team. I just don't know if we'll do the best thing to help our team. By the way GridIron26, just like you, I would love to see what Campbell could do without having to run for his life. :)


There is absolutely no reason to draft Mack at 13 if you can trade down and snag him later.

Hey fellow Redskins fans, I'm new to the Warpath as far as replying to posts. Why do some Redskins fans or the the front office think that we need to change our starting QB again. Here are a few QB's that use to play for the Redskins ( Gus F. Trent Green, Brad Johnson, Pat Ramsey, Rich Gannon, Jeff George etc...) I think couple of these QB went to the Super Bowl and even had nice careers. Did the Ravens have a franchise QB in Dilfer and T. Banks ( Ex Redskin) when they won the Super Bowl? Did the Bears have a Franchise QB ( Grossman) when they lost to the Colts in the Super Bowl? Lets build our defense and O-line through the draft. Our Defense played great but they don't make enough game changing plays any more due to a lack of impact players such as Sean Taylor and Lavar Arrington. Lets stop trying to fined a so called Franchise QB and lets improve our defense to be Nasty like B-more and the Steelers. I live 45min. away from Los Angeles and I see USC games all season, I like Sanchez but not for our team cause we have QB that we have invested in so lets not give up on him so soon like the other former Redskin QB's we had. Lets Draft the best OL or Defensive Impact player.

non-reactionary logic, I kinda like it

There is absolutely no reason to draft Mack at 13 if you can trade down and snag him later. And if you can't trade down and don't take him at 13, you don't get him at all. It all depends on how much you value a high quality center who has the potential to be a pro bowl player for years. I would prefer to trade down and take him, but if I could'nt, then I would take him at 13.

could just mean that somebody in that organization had something different in mind

I can hardly fault a guy for making those decisions, doubt many people could do much better.. you never know what's going on in the FO's of a team, if they're gonna draft for need or BPA or what, it's not the science that some people make it out to be, he's gotta mock it and of course he won't get it all right

That's what I'm hoping for
