Re: Mark Sanchez at 13th?

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.
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.
