Gotta love the youth and athleticism. I almost forgot what it looked like for a DE to get around the side of an OT and have the OT rotate around with him and keep him out of the play/off of the QB.

Yes sir. Please let it happen.

Here are the facts:
1. Vinny Cerrato has publically said he wants to trade DOWN in this years draft.
2. The Redskins have 3 major needs are OT, DE, and LB and everyone knows it.
3. The Redskins, who have shown no interest in QB Jason Campbell have actively pursued Jay Cutler but were outbid at the last second by the Bears.
4. The Redskins are now actively showing interest in QB Mark Sanchez.
5. Mel Kiper says the Skins have something up their sleeve.

What do these facts tell us? Well, anything can happen, but i think there are two likely possibilities:

1. The Redskins are dead set on acquiring a franchise QB in the draft and are so determined, they don't care if everyone knows they are going to do it and it results in the move costing them much more than it otherwise would. The Redskins will attempt to trade up and draft Sanchez.

2. The Redskins will not draft a QB, or a OT, LB, or DE for that matter. They are targeting another player (likely RB or WR) and they want to make sure no one trades above them to select the player.

Right now, i'd weight the likelyhood of skins moves as follows:

A. Complete WTF Move (Drafting Moreno or trading up to draft Crabtree) - 35%
B. Drafting Mark Sanchez (possibly by trading up) - 30%
C. Trading Down - 20%
D. Drafting the best OT, LB, or DE available at 13 - 15%

Also, if Option D happens, id say there's greater than a 50% chance we trade our 2010 first rounder for additional picks.

Also, i'd say theres greater than a 50% chance that Carlos Rogers, Jason Campbell, or Santana Moss are traded on draft day. (Rogers and Moss have both been shopped this offseason. We've been unreasonably stingy despite having ample cap space. I beleive we're keeping the space to enable us to take the resulting cap hit if one of these players is traded).

Hey Ruhskins the link is broken but here is what it said-

Redskins | Interested in Sanchez?

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 08:57:41 -0700

"Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports the Washington Redskins could possibly select Southern California QB Mark Sanchez with the No. 13 pick in the NFL Draft should Sanchez remain on the board."

[tryfuhl]

If we DO draft Sanchez I'd imagine he'd sit for a year right? I mean showing lack of faith in Campbell really isn't going to give us much trade bait if we decided to trade him this year and possibly less next year right?

[Dr Do Itch Big]

we trade either carlos, moss, or even fred davis. Not just JC from what I have been hearing

[TheSmurfs22]

If the Skins do go for Sanchez (which I hope they do not) then it makes you wonder what and who they are going to put on the trading block etc..

Yeah, JLC is blogging that the danny now is "smitten" w/Sanchez. This is unusual in that usually JLC has the scoop first. I started hearing the sanchez stuff from the warpath via Kiper. I don't recall JLC posting anything about sanchez, e.g. inside sources say Snyder & Vinny want to draft Sanchez.

Regardless, Kiper & now JLC are saying Sanchez. I'm sadly inclined to defer to their professionalism (which I respect in both); there must be some truth to the Danny's desire to draft Sanchez.

I'm hoping that some team in the top 10 nabs him, or that finally the FO actually fools some teams & pulls off a major trade to get more picks.

A few things....first, where has JLC said that Danny is smitten with Sanchez? I haven't seen that anywhere. Second, shouldn't Mike Florio have been drawn to this like flies to sh!t? I mean he's the first one that fires off a story about a Redskins controversy.

If we draft Sanchez at 13th, then you can kiss a winning season goodbye. (Because I'd imagine they would get rid of Campbell)

Read this post from the insider:

Redskins Insider - Keep an Eye on Toler in 3rd Round of Draft

What surpised me about it was there was no 'heads up' post like JLC usually does. Typically if he gets something its on the blog.

Come to think of it, after earlier saying I had to trust his reporting, the way he stated this might mean that he's only read the same stuff as us. If he has a source he'll state it as an "unamed source" or such.

As several on here have said, JLC might not have the sources inside redskins part anymore.

This would be a stupid move before the fifth round. Toler for starters is projected as an undrafted free agent by ESPN. Sure guys get drafted later and earlier then expected but not 4 rounds early.

Right now it's looking more like a cheech and chong smoke screen.

Yeah, there's probably some truth to it i would guess. Multiple people reporting this. I didn't hear what Kiper said, but if he reporting the Skins interest than there is some truth to it. Now, the draft has got to play out. It's almost like the DS dinner w/ AH's agent or the Cutler infactuation rumors...both were just rampant speculation..cough cough.

I think all this "Redskins getting Sanchez" stuff is only to fueled the skins ability to trade down. We need more picks and getting a team below us to bite on Sanchez will give us the opportunity to get what we really want. I'm hoping a trade down with Detroit for the first they got from Dallas, their second and a conditional pick. Enabling them to draft Jason Smith 1st overall, then take Sanchez with the 13th. we may only take Sanchez to trade him later for picks a-la Eli Manning.

I really hope that is the case; I truly dread the idea of drafting Sanchez.. If we draft Sanchez, we pretty much can assume that JC and Zorn are not going to come back for next year.. Therefore, our new coach would be stuck with Sanchez, the one who was not part of the part when the FO decides to draft Sanchez.. I'm pretty sure our new coach would want to draft his own QB such as McCoy or Tebow or whoever else.. That would not be pretty good scenario..
