One thing that I know can not, and will not, happen this Saturday on draft day: The Redskins will not draft Mark Sanchez. It will not happen. It's either a giant "smokescreen," or a giant media fabrication.
Sanchez will not drop to No. 13, where the Redskins pick. Trade up? More on that later.
No way in hell he drops to No. 13. The Lions could draft him No. 1 overall (unlikely -- probably will pick Georgia QB Matthew Stafford); The Seahawks could draft him at No. 4 (my bet is he's gone here, though some think Seattle will select Texas Tech receiver Michael Crabtree).
If he makes it past the Seahawks, the Browns, Jags and 49ers could all be interested in a potential franchise QB.
So no way does he fall that far.
I am quite sure that Redskins owner Dan Snyder is indeed "in love" with Sanchez, the super-smooth Southern Cal quarterback.
But the cost to trade up (likely to K.C.'s spot at No. 3) would be way too high. We're talking multiple first-round picks. Mortgaging the future, Ricky Williams style.
Snyder isn't that damned crazy*. Some have said he is.
I'm remaining calm and betting on the Redskins picking up either a offensive tackle or defensive end with their first selection. Or trading down for more picks.
Sanchez, though? No way.
*I hope.
Other Redskins news
- Early rumor: Former Denver boss Mike Shanahan comes in next year to be the Redskins' coach. Of course he could also go to Dallas. Silly rumors, tricks are for kids.
