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.

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):

41 starts, 59% completion. Not bad.

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?

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.

I really like this pick, we obviously couldnt find any d-linemen that we liked in this horrible draft class, and picking Palmer saves us almost a mil in cap room when we cut Collins. Even if we dont really believe in him (which I think we do) he is a smart pick for us. Also if he turns out to be good, we have a cheep backup when Brunell is cut.

You mean when he retires? I expect him to after this year.
