The Official 2007 Draft Discussion Thread

Are people TRYING to let them win another SB?

No doubt. I hate the Patriots.

Jordan Palmer? Seriously? The best thing he's done is be born from the same mother who gave birth to Carson...no defensive ends I guess. Hope some get cut post June 1

Carson Palmer Jr.

Does this mean the end of Todd?

A Qb?

i mentioned before they said they would draft a young qb to groom as a backup. no1 should be suprised, i dont think there are any decent dlinemen left. next year we would have no qbs besides campbell

Perhaps a solid career backup for campbell, brunell and collins are in their late 30s

I am hoping the last pick they take Walter Thomas (http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2007/thomas_walter)

We took a QB, Carson Palmer's brother, at no. 205. Obviously, they are going by the "best player available" method now. Forget the DL. I give up on this FO. The Return of Gibbs experiment will go down in Skins history as a glorious failure.

Bottom line, i dont care who we draft as long as they are good.

Strengths:
Has prototypical size...Was extremely productive...Team captain who shows some leadership ability...Tough, strong and relatively durable considering the beating he took at times behind a sub par offensive line...Accurate with good touch when he's not being pressured...Still has some upside...A lot of his weaknesses can be addressed with good coaching...You can't ignore the family history and pedigree.

Weaknesses:
Throws way too many interceptions...Field vision is questionable and he will force throws...Technique and mechanics are inconsistent and need a lot of work...Does not stand up to pressure well...Is not very mobile and will not hurt defenses with his feet...Arm strength is adequate but not special...He might be too easy going.

Notes:
Brother of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, who won the Heisman Trophy and is a former #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft...Nickname is "J.P."...Is not nearly the prospect that some make him out to be and a lot of that has to do with his bloodlines...Certainly has some physical tools to develop and he could thrive in the right situation but it's too much to expect him to be as good as his brother is.
