What do you think a rookie 6th round DE would be doing?

I also base my statement on the fact that Gibbs waited til the last game to put him in. No way he could vie for a spot with only a half under his belt. Just drafting a guy for the practice squad is moronic, at least if a DE was drafted the kid had a much better chance of making the team and contributing on the field. How does Palmer help out on the practice squad? Gibbs needed to give the kid a taste week one to get him wet and give him time to get something going. I just think drafting a kid to go directly to the practice squad is a waste. A draftee should be able to vie for a starting job or at least give you some solid depth.
