Jordan Palmer
Yeah...Uhh I guess that means this draft is over. There are no other options left on the board than finding the right replica of a Pro Bowl QB.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
I like this pick. We need a young third string guy and he has the tools and size. Anyone who thinks we will find a stud DE in the last few rounds is dreaming.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
I like it too. Hopefully he gets a shot to earn Collins' job.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
So now when someone says "I think we should play the rookie" it means we're putting Palmer in?

Re: Jordan Palmer?
This was a not such a bad pick to fulfill the need for a young backup. It was a so so pick. Brunell is gone next year, who knows about Collins. Only thing that worries me is the worst case scenario and JC doesn't work out. This guy from what the Fox scouting report says locks on to one guy and throws floaters deep. 64 career INTs is not a good sign. We should have traded all of our remaining picks(rounds 5-7) for more 2-3 rounders next year, then get a young backup that might actually have a chance to do a decent job for us or even start if the JC experiment fails. Dumbass draft all around now.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
Being Carson's little bro, he's got it in his blood for sure. I like the pick as well. I suspected we might snag a QB with one of those 6th rd picks.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
Definitely a project pick. Let him develop in NFLE and on the practice squad for a while. Maybe we could even move Brunell in June if someone gets hurt. Bramlet's not really burning it up in NFLE.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
Geez, not one DE or DT. You would think they would have at least drafted one low ender just to get some youth for depth. If the geezers go down we are screwed, totally screwed on D line this season.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
I like the pick with are aging backup QB's. I would have liked a DE/ DT somewhere, but it looks like we'll be looking in FA.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
The more I look at it, I REALLY like this pick. He's 6-6, 231 lbs, and he played some WR in high school, so he's gotta be really athletic. This past season he was 7th in the country in yds/gm, and completed 66% of his passes for 3600 yds and 26 TDs. Could be a solid backup for us. Look at his profile (he looks exactly like Carson):

It's so tough to project 6th round picks to the NFL. Obviously theres something glaringly lacking in their games that caused them to drop this far. Maybe he just didn't dominate lesser competition?

Re: Jordan Palmer?
Only so many guys can go high. Chris Leak and Zambransky didn't even get drafted and they were two very good college qb's. I thought Troy Smith ended up in a good spot but he didn't even go until the last pick in the 5th.
