At a time when much of the focus falls on the question of when and if the Lions will do a deal with Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford as the No. 1 overall pick, the other big-name quarterback is continuing to stir things up.
According to Sal Paolantonio of ESPN, intrigue is developing surrounding USC quarterback Mark Sanchez.
Several teams are involved ? the Seahawks, Browns, Redskins, and Jets, for starters.
One scenario involves the Redskins moving from No. 12 13 to No. 4 (a spot held by Seattle), drafting Sanchez, and then trading Jason Campbell to the Vikings, Bucs, or Jets.
The Browns also are supposedly interested in taking Sanchez at No. 5 and trading Brady Quinn, to the Bucs or the Jets.
Per Paolantonio, the Jets are the team most interested in Quinn. But the Jets also are inclined to try to beat the ?Skins to Sanchez.
If Sanchez is on the board after pick No. 5, we?ve been told that the action is likely at No. 8, with the Jags trading down with the Redskins or the Jets.
