At first it seemed like a no brainer that USC quarterback Mark Sanchez would be on his way to San Francisco on draft day. There were just too many things leaning toward coach Mike Singletary making that decision. He is in desperate need of a franchise quarterback and some scoring punch and stability on offense besides running back Frank Gore's production on the ground.

Sanchez seemed like the perfect fit. Franchise quarterback potential, California boy and possesses as the needed skills to be a great quarterback in the NFL. Problem was that the 49ers were starting to look elsewhere for more of a guarantee like Kurt Warner or a proven NFL veteran.

Now things have changed as Mike Singletary has reached out to Sanchez and let him know that there is still interest in making the young kid the 49ers starting quarterback.

Although most people are seeing Georgia quarterback Matt Stafford going way before Mark Sanchez in the NFL Draft, the 49ers will probably still take Sanchez with the 10th pick if he has already been selected.
