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.
