For the sake of argument, let's say that Stafford goes number 1. If the Chiefs would be willing to take Sanchez if they had the 20th pick, they should take him with the #3 pick. Either he's your franchise QB, and he's worth more than any other player in the draft, or he's a bust. If you don't think he's a potential franchise QB, you don't take him at all. If you think he has a legitimate shot at being THE guy, you take him regardless of your spot.
If the Chiefs draft him at 3 and he pans out, it's a great pick. If the Cardinals draft him at 31 and he flops, it's a blown pick. The Chiefs won't wish that they had traded down if Sanchez makes it big, and the Cardinals wouldn't be celebrating about not picking him earlier if he flops.

Exactly, and that's why people talking about Sanchez or Stafford being reaches are ri-goddamn-diculous.
Pioli took this approach LAST year.
Jarod Mayo was considered a late 1st to mid 2nd guy.
Rick Gosselin's final mock, which is annually the most accurate in the business, had him going to the Steelers at
23
Pioli was sold on him, knew he wasn't going to make it to their next pick at #62. So they took him.
