If we trade down to 7 or 8, I guaran****ingtee someone will trade in front of us to grab Sanchez.
Then, what do we do? We're out of our QB and we've picked up another pick in a bad draft for defensive talent.
Moreover, if you do trade down, you also destroy any chance you have of drafting Stafford if Detroit does something stupid and drafts Monroe #1 overall and trades for Cassell.

You're not listening. I don't support a trade-down if the Chiefs truly believe that Sanchez should get a top 5 grade. But there seems to be at least some doubt about whether he deserves it. And the question is, if the Chiefs are concerned about Sanchez, then what's your next move?
Since people agree on a standard draft procedure that involves a standard draft chart, let me use standard terminology. Drafting a player at #3 that you graded over 5 spots lower is what they call a "reach."
