Schneed, you are assuming you would bring players like this in as starters expecting them to contribute immediately, which would be delusional indeed. These are depth players. These guys only have to be an upgrade over the 4th or 5th guy on the depth chart at their respective positions to be an upgrade. We all know this team has traditionally had major issues with depth.

Personally, I think Jerome McDougle is a player with a lot of upside even though he wouldn't address a glaring need for us. And it would be tough to argue convincingly that O'Neal wouldn't be an upgrade over Tryon.

Anyway, I don't see the harm in questioning if there is any guy out there better than the 53rd man on our roster.
