UTEP's Jordan Palmer picked by the Redskins

April 29, 2007

UTEP quarterback Jordan Palmer was selected by the Washington Redskins with the 31st pick of the sixth round and 205th overall pick of the draft.

I'm surprised he got drafted and think this is a big mistake by the Redskins, but they haven't exactly been lighting up a great draft run anyway. Palmer is nowhere near as good as his big brother Carson, but he thinks he is just as talented. That's why he was leading the nation in interceptions at some point during the past two seasons. He is supremely confident in his ability to make tough passes that he just can't make. And if you can't hack it and make good decisions at UTEP, how in the world are you going to adjust to the speed and pressure of the NFL.

Good for Jordan Palmer getting this far and living out his dreams. But bad for Redskins fans who took on a project that may never get off the ground.

I was thimking that the Redskins should trade Jordan Palmer to one of the teams in the Bengals conference or trade Jordan Palmer to the bengals so that his brother Carson Palmer can teach him something that will make him a good quality quarterback in the upcoming years. for a quarterback and a first round draft pick in the 2008 draft

I completely agree with you his brother is a ba of talent but Carson iissshhhh I dont know, Redskins good luck holding the team down becouse you gotta stay overtime to make sure Palmers got the throw down before the next big game. I would hang out with Palmer and Chris Morrow and we would go swimming and throw some ball but man that Palmer is not NFL material....
