Updated: Chiefs to draft Sanchez?

PrintWith all the talk/speculation that the Chiefs could trade down in the draft (picking up some draft slots in the 1st/2nd rounds), one option that I haven't seen tossed around it the Chiefs actually drafting Sanchez with the #3 pick - then making a trade.
If its true that there are 3-4 teams in the hunt for the second quarterback on the board (assuming Detroit takes a QB) then the Chiefs are going to be fielding calls with various teams looking to move up to draft Sanchez.
This whole post and strategy is based on the idea that Seattle wants a QB.
Seattle knows the Chiefs don't need a QB - and they know that Aaron Curry/Eugene Monroe/Whoever are at the top of our list. They also know that those players (that the Chiefs want) may not be available anymore if the Chiefs trade down to 7 or 8 spot (I'm basing this off the Raiders/Jags being the next teams that may even THINK about drafting a QB). With this in mind, Seattle may not worry about us finding a trade partner - and therefore will have no motivation to move down one spot.
However, if the Chiefs actually draft Sanchez, Seattle will be forced to draft our pick (Aaron Curry?) AND give up a pick (or two) - in order to trade for Sanchez. Again - this is all dependant on Seattle wanting Sanchez.
Hope my rationale wasn't too confusing. The essence is - assuming Seattle wants Sanchez badly, we could force them to give up a pick for him by taking him off the board - and we lose nothing b/c Seattle drafts our top choice for us.
Thoughts?
Update: For those of you who are quick to call this a stupid idea b/c Seattle won't take a QB (specifically Sanchez) - check this out - Rumors Fly That The Seahawks Will Draft A QB

Come on. Is this whacko draft theory day?
Sanchez is not a good enough QB that teams are going to give up the farm to get him. He only played 1 year of college football. Seattle might draft him if he falls to them (though I don’t think they will) but they aren’t going to give away a bunch to get a big questionmark like Sanchez.
The Chiefs would be over the barrel trying to trade Sanchez after drafting him because everyone KNOWS we will have no intention of keeping him. That puts us at a disadvantage in seeking compensation.
If a team wants Sanchez, they can make the trade before he’s picked.
Seattle's Got A Lot Of Needs As Well
So they may not even be interested in Sanchez.
There is not a chance in hell that either a) the Chiefs draft Mark Sanchez, or b) the Seahawks trade up one spot with us to get him.
Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
3. Maurice Carthon will be the most hated man on the Chiefs' coaching staff within two years.
Not To Mention
The Lions may not even draft Stafford, in which case the Seahawks will get either Stafford or Sanchez anyway (because the Rams aren’t drafting a QB at #2).

The best possible pick for the Seahawks @ 4
is Stafford

Yup
They can let him develop for a year or two as Hasselbeck winds up his career, then move him into the starting job. Worst case scenario, if Hasselbeck gets seriously hurt again Stafford’s probably got the best chance of this QB class of being able to step in and start right away.

What about the Lions not drafting Stafford?
they could go with LT still and surprise everyone, obviously slim chance but I would give it a solid 9% chance of happening.
If that does happen, would it be prudent for Pioli to take Stafford and hold him hostage for the highest bidder? That takes teams 4-8 out of the running to trade down and moves us up the charts big time to pick up picks ala Chargers trading Manning to the Giants.

No
Because other teams would simply call our bluff and underbid…a rookie QB prospect really isn’t necessarily worth all that much in terms of trade right after you draft him. And Stafford’s far from a sure thing for developing into a top NFL QB.

I think the Seahawks would draft Stafford if he fell to them
Hasselbeck is getting older. But Sanchez is too much an unknown to make that pick. Theres just no way.
2 down, 3 to go.
Tim Floyd snubbing Arizona is more humiliating than getting rejected by a fat chick.
i dont know if this one would count
this is trading a player not draft picks
And if they don't bite we're stuck with Sanchez

yeah alittle imagination into that one..but
it is important for the Seattle “smoke screen” to continue. No way they draft Sanchez when they need so much more, but as long as they act like their interested, we should get all the phone calls. Which in turn hurts Denver big time. If teams find out the Seahawks are taking Monroe, or someone else……look for Cleveland or Jacksonville to start recieving calls and possibly hitting the jackpot.
Hmm I wonder why this scenario hasn't been presented before?
oh yeah cuz it’s stupid and will never happen
There are no stupid questions just stupid people
Did everyone in AP
fall down and hit their heads?
So what you are saying is we draft the guy we don’t want and let the guys behind us draft the guy we DO want and then try to hold them hostage by trading the guy we THING they MIGHT want to get the guy we REALLY DO want and maybe a 2nd round pick?

My Dad lived in Mission Viejo for 25 years
and yeah, there are a LOT of hot older women there. Just saying, I used to love going to see my Dad.
Drafting Sanchez is the riskiest thing we can do
Worst case scenario, no one wants to pay up to trade for him and we just wasted our first round pick.
It would suck
If nobody wanted him and we waisted a pick i know someone would want him but what if they just said wow chiefs screwed themselves we arent helping
