Cleveland takes USC QB Sanchez at #5

The Jets did what they were trying to do all week long: move up to get their quarterback. They've done it. We don't know yet what they gave up in order to get this pick, but we're sure they paid highly.

Rex Ryan is ready to put his stamp on the AFC East, and now he has his quarterback to do so. Sanchez can make all the throws (if you didn't see Mike Mayock's montage before the draft, the guy can throw a 40 yard post with his hips wide open), and is a lot of draft expert's highest rated quarterback in the draft.

Congrats to Sanchez. Wonder what his deal is going to look like.

Edit: Apparently the Jets gave up their first and second rounders in this year's draft, plus three Mangini-picked guys from the roster. Don't know if they've given up any other picks in return, but Mangini likes to do things his way. Cleveland likes this deal, for sure.
