Saturday morning at stadium

Rookie minicamp practice continues this morning in the rain inside Paul Brown Stadium.

Some quick observations:

-- Offensive lineman Anthony Collins, a former basketball player, has great feet.

-- Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell have excellent size for wide receivers and are catching most everything thrown their way, even in heavy rain.

-- A lot will be expected of third-round defensive tackle Pat Sims. He might be the single-most important player drafted simply because of the need at his position.

-- If all things are equal between Jordan Palmer and Jeff Rowe for the third quarterback spot on the roster, which player has the built-in edge?

I don't know who has the edge between Palmer and Rowe but did you happen to catch Jordan's audio bites on Jim Rome's show yesterday, Mark?... It was hilarious, Matt Hasselbeck was the "Correspondant" of the day and he talked to Jordan about a couple things... they came to the conclusion that: 1) Jordan is in Cincy for no other reason than to take Carson's job, and 2) Chad said he wants out of Cincy UNLESS Jordan Palmer is the QB... :D

How did Urrutia look? A couple of years ago he looked like he was ready for the NFL.
