Mark Sanchez at 13th?

We are not drafting Mark Sanchez, how much longer can this damn thread go on? Oh wait, only 2 more days

The article in todays Wash Post sure makes it sound like the Skins will do what they need to do to get him. DS is in love with this kid. I can see the Skins giving up their next 3 or 4 years first round picks in an attempt to get Sanchez.

According to Collin....Sal Paolantonio reporting they will trade up and trade JC to try and recover picks. Also the FO does not want to pay JC Francise money to keep him.
Sat will tell........

3 or 4 first rounders? You're kidding right?

The price to move up likely would be the #13 this year, this year's 3rd rounder, and a first rounder next year.

I can't see the price to move up being 4 firsts, that's a little ridiculous.

Until it's replaced by the Mark Sanchez is a Redskin thread.

That's as likely as the "Angry is a Raven's Fan Now" thread.

In some ways this year reminds me of the 2002 draft. There was a clear No. 1 QB (David Carr) and the next guy (Joey Harrington) shot up the boards a bit during the "Draft Season" (i.e. - Feb-April) that Danny was, by all accounts, in love with. DS tried to trade up to get Harrington, but wasn't able to because he wouldn't pay the price to move up to no. 3. Instead, he traded down from 18 twice (to 21 and then 32) picking up a couple of third rounders and still getting a QB he liked- Patrick Ramsey.

I liken Sanchez to Harrington - they both seem to became media darlings during the drive to the draft.

BTW - The players picked as a result of the trades: Ramsey, Rashad Bauman, Ladell Betts and Greg Scott.

The two players picked in the first round in the slots we traded out of: T.J. Duckett (18) and Daniel Graham (21). Also, the player picked 31st? Our new linebacker, Robert Thomas.

I've seen people make this argument and to be honest I don't buy it. Yes there are a lot of similarities but theres also a lot of differences. For starters Sanchez didn't play in the QB friendly Tedford system that Harrington was in. Sanchez instead played in a pro style system.

On top of that Carson Palmer and Matt Cassel have proven that USC knows what they're doing when it comes to coaching up QB's. Matt Leinart on the other hand would be the Cardinals starting QB if he got his head on straight. Fortunately Sanchez doesn't have the party bug, at least not as bad as Leinart does.

"Sanchez has had no off-the-field issues since (sexual assault case where charges were dropped). He is a hard worker with excellent football character. He takes his responsibility as a role model very seriously and anyone who interviews him will find him to be one of the most impressive individuals in the 2009 draft class."

I might have exaggerated a bit but I could see DS going that far if he really wanted to. I think your terms are more realistic but the words out now that DS is in love with Sanchez and I can see teams milking DS for all he's worth. Time will tell if DS & Co. can control themselves.

Putting aside what would have to be given up to get them, who would you guys think would be the better QB for us-Sanchez or Quinn?

Sanchez. Easily. Quicker release, better mobility, better accuracy, and most importantly his confidence is still in tact.
