Jordan Palmer

BeastsoftheNFCeast · 04-29-2007, 10:53 PM

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.

Did anyone see that Ben Patrick was picked one pick before us?

skinsguy · 04-29-2007, 04:47 PM

Anybody know anything concrete about this guy?

Rajmahal33 · 04-29-2007, 04:57 PM

This feels like one of those picks that will leave us scratching our heads for years to come (see: Sage Rosenfels)

If this guy ends up with as much playing time as Sage it is a good pick.

I like this pick as well, during his selection process it was said that many of the INT's he threw were not all his fault. It was also said he's not very mobile, but if you watch the short hightlight package put together on him, you may beg to differ.

I can't post a link right now, but if you go to Yahoo Sports/Wash. Redskins, there's a short highlight clip on all our draft picks except the TE from Mich.

Will someone please post the link so all can view.

How could we not draft any d lineman after having only 19 sacks last year. Palmer might be a solid backup...big deal. We didnt pick up an offensive guard either. The two major questionmarks we had this offseason were d-line and o-line and how do we address that? By not picking any o-line or d-lineman in the draft...brilliant!

To top it off linebacker seemed to be our most stable position as a whole beside running back, yet we draft two linebackers back to back in the late rounds.

And why did we draft the TE from Michigan...he probobly would have been undrafted and we could have used that pick on either of our lines.

I would have taken Tarrell Brown at CB versus Sartz in the case we didnt take a lineman...Springs will be gone next year this could have been his replacement.

I think H.B. Blades will be a decent pro but we have holes that did not get filled. I am also a little worried about Landry because he seems to be almost an exact Sean Taylor clone. I love Taylor but I do not know if two players that are so similiar can play side by side. Taylor struggled in coverage and Landry is even less strong in coverage.

My only hope is that I am completly wrong about all of this, but I am scratching my head after this draft. Hopefully we are done dealing our picks for nothing.

And would anyone have objected if we offered the Raiders a third round pick next year for Randy Moss? I dont know if we could afford him but I think he is worth the gamble, this is the type of trade that works in teams favors. New Engalnd is not Oakland and Moss will do great things their.

Gibbs pretty much said he is a practice team kinda guy.

Skinner · 04-29-2007, 05:08 PM

Palmer should be a decent 3 stringer. But what pissed me off is no DT or DE. I MEAN WTF!!?, we had 19 sacks last year! 19! Why didnt we trade Springs for a 3rd or 4th rounder? Hes probably going to get cut June 1 anyway.

i think what the defensive coaches are thinking is if they upgrade the secondary then that will allow them to blitz more.

NM Redskin · 04-29-2007, 05:11 PM

This is a great pick! I go to NMSU and UTEP is our regional rivalry. Ive seen Carson play alot and he plays alot like his brother. He's a lot rawer but he will be a great backup QB.

skinsfan69 · 04-29-2007, 05:56 PM

I like this pick. Forget the game experience and knowledge of the offense that Brunell and Collins gives us, just for a second. If you put that aside and look at it closely we need to upgrade the talent at the back-up QB position. It's always good to have another young guy to develop with some nice upside.

NicknacK89 · 04-29-2007, 05:57 PM

"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."

Since when can you trade 5-7 round picks for 2-3 rounders??

bigm29 · 04-29-2007, 06:37 PM

You cant say anything bad about any picks untill they play

CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR · 04-29-2007, 06:49 PM

Typical solid draft by the skins no dline help. reminds me of the year acouple years ago when we drafted 2 or 3 FB instead of dlinemen.
