Here are my thoughts.
Cincy had a need at QB and they drafted Palmer who was the #1 QB in the draft.
Here is my question how are the 3rd or 4th rated QB's of the draft doing now? At the 13 pick the Rams will be lucky to get the 3rd or 4th rated DL on the board.....
IMO and I've expressed it many times on this board is very simple.
I do not believe in selecting Defensive and or Offensive Lineman unless you feel the player is a phenom like
Orlando Pace.
The reason is this position requires alot of development and alot of times players drafted much lower develop into better players.... Also, the time required to develop is usually the entire length of the players rookie contract. So now the organization must pay up (AGAIN) to see it's investment payoff......
