Mark Sanchez at 13th?

No, he's the "Dirty Sanchez" and after each TD he throws, he will pretend to draw a mustache as a celebration.


EEEEEEEWWWWW!!!!



Peter Griffin just got a mustache...I know!

Call me crazy but I don't think that drafting Sanchez with the 13th overall pick is that bad of an idea. Best case It would push JC to preform better and if he does we have a situation like San Diego had a couple years back with Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers. If he doesn't play better we have Sanchez who would be ready to step in and play like carson plamer did with the Bengles. The one thing I don't want is for Washington to trade a bunch of picks to trade up and get him though.

This is exactly what I've been wondering all along. Why wouldn't the Rams take him at #2? Apart from the fact that Spagnuolo is a defensive guy who might use his first pick on defense, I can't figure out why St. Louis wouldn't begin grooming Bulger's replacement.

At least that's what I hope.

And the Rams are switching to a West Coast Offense.

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

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?

Why does a player's race or ethnic group make a difference? I thought MLK said that we shouldn't judge a person by the color of their skin but by their ability or character, or something along those lines. Who gives a damn? Put the grape ape out there and let him play. We haven't had a purple player yet.

Drafting a QB with an O-line like ours makes no sense what-so-ever! With that said, I know that DS will insist that we draft him. Welcome to the team Sanchez. Take a good look at FedEx field. If your patient, you'll have your head buried in it just like every other Washington QB. Aren't you lucky!

We can't get Sanchez without trading a bunch of picks.
Imo getting Sanchez would preclude the Skins from improving our greatest areas of needs.

We can't get Sanchez and improve the OL/Pass Rush/OLB.

The only way I'd be alright with taking Sanchez is if he fell to #13, which it appears as if there is no way thats going to happen. I personally don't think we have enough picks to fill all the needs we have regardless if we trade for Sanchez or not though.

Most seem to think Detroit is going w/Stafford, but what if they opt for J. Smith instead? Both Staff. & Sanchez would drop at least a little.


Or, what if they really shocked everybody & signed Sanchez? Would there be a scramble to trade up for Stafford? (Doesn't sound like the Skins are into him at all)

As Rich points out, if that happened, we wouldnt be in that much different of a position than every other NFL team.

Scout.com: Just a Guy (http://was.scout.com/2/858159.html)

...And many, if not most, NFL teams will be in the same boat. You can't fill every starting position with a high draft pick or with a premium free agent. Sometimes you have to go with someone who is just a guy. Should the Redskins not land an offensive tackle that guy could be Jansen or Heyer or maybe Devin Clark, a rookie free agent who spent last year on the practice squad. Wynn, Daniels, and Chris Wilson could be the guys rotating at right DE. H. B. Blades was a guy who filled in at linebacker last year and didn't embarrass himself. Or another guy who could end up starting at the Sam linebacker is the recently-signed Robert Thomas, who has started 50 NFL games in six years in the league...

...But if it's not ideal that doesn't mean that it's a disaster. Nevertheless, Redskins Nation is likely to be fretting and wringing its collective hands on Monday morning, lamenting unfilled needs. Chances are, though, that a few guys will end up working out just fine.


Even if we select one of OL/DE/OLB in the first round, that still leaves us with two holes. Its not like our 3rd round pick could be counted on to be an immediate starter and upgrade over the guys we have. So if your very own personal "worst case scenario" involves the skins trading picks for Sanchez, its not the end of the world. We're already a MUCH better team now than we were when the season ended. As far as i'm concerned, everything we do between now and the regular season is just icing on the cake - to make us even better. Whatever we do with our 1st round pick - OL, DL, LB, QB, RB... whatever - it will certainly be for a player who's better than the guy he's replacing on our roster.

One more random thing - i wouldnt be surprised if, a week from now, Brady Quinn is our defacto starting QB...
