Mark Sanchez at 13th?

First for all those enamored with Sanchez: On Cowherd's show (while a Skins bashing a-hole, he does from time-to-time make a good point or two). Paraphrased "Of QBs taken with picks in the top 12 overall in the last 8 years (I believe), there were a total of 18, 11 are generally considered busts, 2 the jury's still out, and 5 are hits." So on the high end 38% and on the low end 27.7% are the chances that Sanchez will be the "QB of the future" for the Skins. Are you JC basher/Sanchez/Quinn lovers willing to risk at a minimum two 1 round picks and a 4th, on what is a sub-38% chance of success.

Second, Mike Torico (sp?) mentioned that he doesn't even talk with NFL people at this time of year because all you get is misinformation and I believe he used the phrase "a bunch of smoke".

Yes. Today I read one article which said we were moving up to draft Sanchez and the very next article I read said the Skins-Sanchez thing was all smoke. One article said the Browns would take Sanchez, the next one said that the Browns didn't want Sanchez and desperately wanted to trade down.

The point: I'm not going to believe ANYTHING this week until I see picks with my own eyes on Saturday afternoon.
