You could be right...if we end up with Sanchez, we could likely blame Snyder for being too stupid to keep his mouth shut. Who knows really.

I do like Stafford...he's a "can't miss" prospect IMO. But no way would I want to pay the amazingly high price it would take to get him.

Damn it, I just want Orakpo, is that too much to ask?

Misinformation? I hope so.
I really do not think Sanchez is worth trading up for him.
Snyderatto, please do not give up future picks for this guy.
I am disappointed that they are not going to give Campbell a chance with a good offensive line in front of him. Campbell behind a good offensive line could become great.
Most underclassmen QB's taken high in the draft end up busts. Sanchez has very little experience. He threw something like 460 passes in his entire college career.

Sanchez Situation Getting Interesting
Posted by Mike Florio on April 23, 2009, 12:02 p.m.

At a time when much of the focus falls on the question of when and if the Lions will do a deal with Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford as the No. 1 overall pick, the other big-name quarterback is continuing to stir things up.

According to Sal Paolantonio of ESPN, intrigue is developing surrounding USC quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Several teams are involved — the Seahawks, Browns, Redskins, and Jets, for starters.

One scenario involves the Redskins moving from No. 12 to No. 4 (a spot held by Seattle), drafting Sanchez, and then trading Jason Campbell to the Vikings, Bucs, or Jets.

The Browns also are supposedly interested in taking Sanchez at No. 5 and trading Brady Quinn, to the Bucs or the Jets.

Per Paolantonio, the Jets are the team most interested in Quinn. But the Jets also are inclined to try to beat the ‘Skins to Sanchez.

If Sanchez is on the board after pick No. 5, we’ve been told that the action is likely at No. 8, with the Jags trading down with the Redskins or the Jets.

Hate to nit pick, but we don't have the 12th. I know all these rumors will be flying for the next few days, but I can't see any way that we actually trade for Sanchez. None, Zero, Zip, Zilch. Zorn, who by all appearances is the least able to put up a false front, has been continually supporting Campbell, and barely able to smoke screen that we might go for someone else. Vinny, we all know, "lies" up until a final deal is done. And DS has said nothing except vague statements about winning to enable VC's draft day manipulations. I am absolutely confident that we will not pick Sanchez.

Lets just take the best player at 13 and start filling some holes we do have. The front office should give JC a second year in this offense. There is always next year to fall in love with the next sexy QB.

Ok we are talking quality of the line and benefiting Campbell but, is Kendal gone for next year?

I know off topic.

Man, if these aren't all smoke screens, Jason Campbell has to be hating life.

But what if JC is in on this and it is a smoke screen? I haven't heard anything from Jason Campbell since the Cutler issue. Since then, no one has interviewed Campbell. I could be wrong, but the Campbell camp has been silent.

During "Cutlergate", JC was on all the radio shows and on Sportsnite getting interviewed. Now there's silence.

Angry is correct. Sanchez is not really on the radar.

If this was several months ago where it was thought that Sanchez might still be around at 13 you might have a point. We really don't have a lot of reason to hype Sanchez without being in a position to pick him, where's the benefit?

A frickin first for 2 spots? then again you do have to worry about denver taking him at 12

I just can't see Sanchez going that high though... especially when there appears to be a few teams definitely willing to trade up for him.. what would stop us, the jets, etc from trading up well before 11 if he starts slipping? do the browns just give up on going after him? I know that was the guy's question but still

I might be misunderstanding your post...but if I understand question correctly, the benefit of hyping another player you have no intention of drafting is the teams drafting ahead of you will take the player you are hyping instead of the player you realyl want, like an Okrapo, a LB or an OT.
We really need an OT, DE, LB or C.
A Qb would be a luxury pick. Especially if we have give up future picks or another player to get Sanchez.
I personally do not think Sanchez is worth giving up future picks to move up to get. Sanchez has publicly stated he wants to go to Seattle.

Harldy - The best thing for Campbells career would be to be traded to Minnesota or New York and he knows it.

If I remember the projections right a lot of beginning mocks had all the OT's and DE's being gone by the time it got to our pick at 13. If, by feigning interest in Sanchez, we put pressure on at least one team ahead of us to get him instead of a DE/OT, then we have a better chance of having a player of need fall to us, plus if the 2nd of 3 first round qb's go, we increase the chance of a qb hungry team trading up to get Freeman at our spot.

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.

At this point JC is probably just in "F it" mode. It's out of his hands, not much he can do about anything.

As much as I would love to see us dump Campbell, we have other, much more pressing needs. if we don't get a DE, then we aren't going to see the full return on Haynesworths 100 mil. (If its even possible to get a full return). And what about the entire right side of our O-line? And someone please tell me we are bringing Marcus back.

[Soup's Uncle]

That would be a dream scenario to pick up a late 1st & a second or 3rd for our pick. A boy can dream...

That is one of the better scenarios, though I don't think Denver goes QB with either of their picks and I think Sanchez goes before #12. But the logic still holds, I suspect you are giving the F.O. too much cred, but we can hope.
