#178 overall - New Orleans Saints poll (2008 "Experts" Mock draft)
The fact that Palko stuck around over Jason Fife, stopped getting sent to the practice squad late last year, and they just signed a
left handed vet backup/mentor who is the very personification of the highest hopes anybody could have for Palko. And Jimmy Smith from the TP is getting the same vibe re: Palko sticking around for a while (meaning the rest of 08 minimum, I'm sure.)
Which isn't to say that there won't be another QB brought in for camp and/or practice squad. And who can ever know who beats who out at Milsaps? But I think "Payton is high on Palko" has been reasonably established.
