You want to see some lowlights?  Checkout Sanchez vs Oklahoma State last year.  OU beat the Hell of them, but he was the weak link that night for sure.  

Sanchez is great for reading the QB's eyes, but besides that he's just average in my personal opinion.

It was a love/hate relationship at OU for a lot of their fans.

Sanchez is a guy who I think Gettleman rolled the dice on.  He's a boom or bust type of prospect IMO.  We probably really liked his ball hawking abilities and ability to create turnovers.  Honestly, that's about the only thing there is to like.  He isn't a great cover guy and he's too small to be physical near the LOS.  We'll probably treat his rookie year kind of like a college redshirt year.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him not even active most weeks.  If he hasn't shown significant development by training camp next year, we'll probably just chalk it up as a gamble that didn't pay off.

"The New England Patriots announced that they have released DB Leonard Johnson.  

Johnson, 25, was signed by New England to the 53-man roster on Dec. 9, 2015 after being released from Tampa Bay’s injured reserve list on Dec. 3, 2015. The 5-foot-10, 202-pounder, appeared in four regular-season games with three starts for the Patriots in 2015 and registered seven tackles and three passes defensed. Johnson was active, but did not play in either postseason contest. Read
Johnson originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Tampa Bay out of Iowa State in 2012. He has played in 52 NFL games with 20 starts and has registered 146 total tackles, five interceptions for 128 yards with two touchdowns, 23 passes defensed, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and nine special teams tackles." http://www.patriots.com/news/2016/02/17/patriots-release-db-leonard-johnson

He should be well rested after last season.

You know you're in offseason mode when you read a thread titled "Carolina Panthers sign corner" and you open it fully expecting a picture of some kind of Carolina Panthers sign on a street corner.

Good signing though.  I always trust Gettleman's journeyman DB signings to be guys that have a lot of upside and could thrive in our system.  I expect the same is true for this guy.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
