1) Denver with two picks in the top 20 now has some firepower to get some help on defense. A top LB (one of the 3 USC players) must be on the agenda for one of the picks, with perhaps DL help at the other if they don’t look to go for a QB. If Sanchez sits on the board at their 12 slot, it will be mighty tempting.
2) QB needy teams such as Tampa, the Jets and the Lions must now address the position in the draft. We can assume that the Lions will draft Stafford for sure now. The Jets were hot on Cutler’s tail but didn’t get it done. Will they sit and wait for Sanchez to drop, or will they go up to grab him. Tampa will either need to ‘settle’ for Josh Freeman, or package up some picks to move up for Sanchez. No way he slides that far. What about the Cleveland Browns? They have 2 starting caliber guys. What sort of return could they get for one of them. How about a shock trade sending Anderson to Detroit for a swap of first round picks (1 and 5) and a 3rd rounder. Detroit gets a QB and can use the fifth on help like Aaron Curry or one of the top OL as well as their other first. Cleveland get a chance to secure the best OL or Aaron Curry plus the 3rd as a sweetener.
3) The first round WR market has now opened up with Chicago out of the picture. Look for some teams picking in the 20s to be excited to get a shot at one of the top WR that might have previously been off the board. Minnesota would be excited at the chance that Percy Harvin might be a shot for them now.
