Somebody please try to convince me that the FO has a plan.

If they were putting up a bluff, it certainly has snowballed, but, until draft day tomorrow, we fans won't really know - if we ever do. There are alot of people crying foul over what the FO has supposedly done, but very little substantiated evidence. You say there is an unstable atmosphere around the qb, but really, there is no "qb controversy", JC is the presumed starter, has been given said assurances, there is no one in camp who is competing with him (and after draft day that will probably still be the case). I could certainly be wrong, but really every shred of this atmosphere is media driven, and the funny thing is that if this was all a draft farce, it won't matter to some fans who will forever remember the 2009 draft as a FO failure - even if we end up getting a strong OL/DE combination or a top 4 OT from the maneuverings.

Even if the Redskins make the Sanchez deal, if they can pick up a late 2nd for Campbell (as Smootsmack heard is a potential deal) and can spin that into a couple of thirds, address OT and DE/LB in the third that would constitute success.

If the Sanchez thing doesn't happen and we get Orapko at #13 (he's sliding) or trade down for additional picks to address OT, DE and LB that would also constitute success.

We've got a bunch of chicken little's on the board these days, buying every nugget the media throws out there as if it's gospel and running with it. The next 72 hours are going to be very interesting and entertaining.

True.

My head is spinning right now with all the scenarios.

The only thing we can do is wait and see how it plays out for real. Because right now even the teams themselves have no idea how things are going to go.
