Several teams need a LT right now that are in the top 10. The Seahawks could be a playoff team and I don't see them taking a QB that will be on the bench. The Jags have lots of holes and they Garrard, who I think Del Rio really likes. San Fran already has a lot invested in Smith and I think Singletary likes Hill too. Denver has Orton and Chris Simms who both have starting experience and Simms does have some ability.
The team that really needs Sanchez is the New York Jets. They really need him, but moving from 17 to 3 ain't gonna happen. So, yes I believe that Monroe has more trade value than Sanchez because of where teams are selecting in this draft.
ok genius.... please refute my argument. please enlighten me with your brilliance.

Well, first of all, there are 7 LTs with first round grades this year, and 3 QBs, and of the teams picking in the top half of the first round, the only ones with a definite need for LT are:
Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland, Cincy, and Jacksonville.
Combine that with the fact that there are 10-12 tackles with 1st or second round grades, and the fact that there were 7 other tackles taken in the first round last year, and several other teams still have a LT entrenched, and that there are only 3 QBs with second round grades, and yeah, I'd say the LT supply outweighs the demand.
