Sanch a Hawk?

Todd McShay has updated his mock draft and has the Seahawks taking Mark Sanchez. Does he have inside sources? Maybe so. But I'm hoping the Hawks are just throwing up some smoke screens to generate some trade interest. Sanch has been shooting up draft boards, so maybe someone who wants him would try and go all the way up to 4.

I guess I would feel OK with us taking Sanch. If he's as good as people think he is, and could be a franchise QB, then we should take him. Chances are we won't be picking this high again for a long time. This would be the one chance we have to take a "franchise" QB. I'm just not convinced he will be as good as advertised.

I would love to hear how my fellow Mustacheers feel about this potential situation.

Clean Sanchez Impresses at Pro Day

Mark Sanchez and the rest of the Trojan draft hopefuls put on a show for the scouts today at USC's Pro Day. From what I've heard Sanchez had an amazing showing. He looked good with his footwork, drops, accuracy, and arm strength. He also showed some poise when the Lions' coaching staff hijacked the end of his workout and asked him to throw some more routes. Apparently he nailed all of those throws too. Most are saying his Pro Day was more impressive than Stafford's. Mike Mayock noted that, although Sanch doesn't have the arm strength of Stafford or Josh Freeman, his arm strength is comparable to Matt Ryan's. Mayock went on to say that he thinks Sanch is the safest pick of the 3 QBs, which is odd considering he has the least starting experience.

We'll see if this generates more buzz in the coming weeks, but it looks like the #1 QB race could, in the words of NBA Jam, be heating up.

Personally, I would rather have Sanch than Stafford. If for no other reason than the fact that I would get to keep using the nickname "Sanch."
