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):

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

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

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

Anybody know anything concrete about this guy?

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

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.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

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.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

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.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

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.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

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.

if he gets to play at all this year,it will be in preseason.that is unless we end up with another body bag game like we did in philly in 1990!i'll never forget brian mitchell coming in,running the option,and getting the only td of the night for the skins!

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

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.

"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??

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

Al is probably fuming right now lol.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

You cant say anything bad about any picks untill they play

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

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.

Re: Jordan Palmer?
 

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

Re: Jordan Palmer
 

Nice pick up. Guess Bramlet's days are numbered now. Palmer should be the back up by '08, '09 at the latest.

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?

Tom Brady wants a word with you. That's right I'm saying it right now Jordan Palmer=Tom Brady ;)

Re: Jordan Palmer
 

I guess seeing that there were no DE left that could START and make an impact now that we go with other positions that we will need in then next couple yrs and go after dlinemen in FA

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.

Re: Jordan Palmer
 

this guy will not be with the skins 2 years from now

Re: Jordan Palmer
 

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.

Re: Jordan Palmer
 

Good pick.

I had not heard of him and my initial reaction when we drafted a QB was "WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

After learning about Jordan Palmer and thinking it over, I love the pick. He's an incredibly talented and overlooked QB and I'd rather have him than Collins any day. Collins won't see the field anyways, so why not have a great backup of the future for Campbell, or God forbid, an eventual replacement if Campbell gets hurt on a scramble or something.
2007 QB Depth
1. Campbell
2. Brunell
3. Palmer
4. Randel El

2008 QB Depth:
1. Campbell
2. Palmer
3. Free Agent
4. Randel El

Better plan for the future than keeping Todd Collins...a guy who has proven he won't cut it. Great upside beats proven mediocrity any day.

Palmer will have a great environment to learn too, Gibbs with Campbell (very knowledgable QB) and Brunell (vet leadership, position to be a good teacher).

Holding a clipboard and studying seems to have worked out GREAT for Campbell and we could be set for a decade at QB now.

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

Re: Jordan Palmer
 

Sounds like a practice squad player to me, I'd be surprised if he makes the active roster.
