Seahawks playing sanchez groupies for fools!

All this talk about Seattle picking Mark Sanchez at the fourth spot in the NFL Draft on Saturday is just one great bluff. The Seahawks are just trying to turn “Sanchez Mania” into more talent for less money than they could get with the Fourth overall selection. Realizing that you just have to give to much guaranteed money to an unproven rookie in the top 5 picks, they’re looking for a way out. They face the same problem that every team in the top 5 has faced the last couple of years, which is no one wants to trade for their pick. I can’t remember a time since 2004 (the year of Eli Manning) that any team has been able to trade a top 5 pick. (I’m not saying there hasn’t been, I’m just saying I can’t remember one, I’m to damn lazy to research it, you’re lucky I took the time to find that pic!) The secret is out, you’ve got just as good of odds drafting a pro bowler with 2 second round picks, as you do with a top 10 selection. Also, you spend around a 8th of the cap room on those two players as you would the top overall rookie. So Seattle was sitting around thinking they were stuck with a high pick like everyone at the top is, until they noticed how much attention Mark Sanchez was getting. There’s all this talk about how 4 or 5 teams think he’s the answer to their quarterback problem. Hoping all this is true, somebody got the brilliant idea to put it out there that they will pick him at 4. If all the chatter is true, some big-market franchise might be willing to send a whole lotta value to Washington state for the USC golden boy. This is all according to a source that spoke on the condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.

I’m shocked I made it through a whole blog posting about a guy named Sanchez and I managed to not put “dirty” in front of it once. That’s some real journalism shit right there!
