The #1 overall pick...

[Tahoe]

The Lions are getting close to the pick and even closer to a hopeful signing.

Curry
Stafford
Sanchez (especially after todays workout)
J Smith
Monroe
Trade

Are the top possibilities.

This what Mayock had to say about Sanchez's workout today.

The Lions asked Sanchez to do some extras after the scripted part of the workout. They asked to see the deep comeback against the wind. We want to see you rollout and throw this or that.

Mayock said he handled it flawlessly. He stepped up, he made every throw. From a accuracy, footwork and consistency standpoint, Sanchez had a better workout than Mathew Stafford.

Davis added that Sanchez's willingness to do it was impressive. Asked if they wanted more. Not even a thought of 'I did what I was scripted to do' He was willing to keep going.

Sanchez's arm strength is not a question.

[Tahoe]

Mayock thinks Sanchez is the safer than Stafford. Davis has Sanchez rated above Stafford even before this workout.

So this might be a good thing to be able to negotiate with 2 qb's.

[Zekyl]

If Sanchez had 2 years of experience instead of 1, he'd probably be rated higher than Stafford on everyone's board. That's my only concern with him at this point.

[Tahoe]

And if he's going to sit a year anyway, what does it matter, right?

So is Sanchez 20yo or 21? I forgot right now.

[Tahoe]

Oops, my bad, you are saying he would be rated higher cuz they'd consider him a lil safer cuz they've seen him 16 more games.

[Zekyl]

Yeah. The thought was he'd be a consensus #1 if he came back next year and had a similar season.
