Sanchez to meet with Jets; REPORT: Freeman unlikely at 17 ~ PFT.com

Sanchez > Leinhart.....Sanchez > Freeman also.

Freeman is more Flacco than he is Russell, much more.

Plus, Russell would be something if he weren't stuck in Oakland.

Russell would suck no matter where he played.

[New York Mick]

I doubt that Freeman gets drafted in the first round muchless at 17.

[Jets Voice of Reason]

I doubt that Freeman gets drafted in the first round muchless at 17.

I disagree. I don't think he deserves it, but I see a team reaching. Especially since the dropoff is huge after the top 3 QBs go.

SANCHEZ, NOT STAFFORD, THE LIONS’ PICK?

Posted by Mike Florio on March 22, 2009, 9:03 p.m.

We’re putting this one squarely in the “rumor” file for now. But since this is a “rumor mill,” we’re not going to ignore it pending official confirmation or a second source.

There’s a rumor making the rounds in league circles that the Lions are focused not on Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford, but on USC quarterback Mark Sanchez.

As previously mentioned, the Lions apparently plan to talk to multiple players about a possible rookie contract. It could be that the Lions will float multiple names, and ultimately talk to multiple players, in order to soften up the expectations of the guy whom they really want.

There's another report that the Lions have decided on Baylor OT Jason Smith at the #1 spot. Both reports could be true with the Lions also holding the #20, and having plenty of ammo to move up from there if they want Sanchez somewhere in the teens.

This would work for me, as I'm not all that interested in Sanchez. The Jets might even be a potential trade partner with their QB starved NFC rival Chicago Bears selecting right after us.
