How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

Dont forget Antonio Pierce, Ryan Clark, Lemar Marshall, Leigh Torrence, and Patrick Ramsey. Those guys were all lockerroom cancers and we knew about it months in advance of their release.

Kellys knees did not severely limit him in college. If they had, he wouldnt have been projected by pretty much everyone as a 1st or 2nd round pick. It was risky to select him, but it was worth the risk. I dont think anyone can legitimately question that we got a great "value" selecting any one of Kelly, Thomas, or Davis in the 2nd round. They were all steals at the postion we drafted them. The only reasonable criticism of the moves i can see is that it was a bit of overkill - however, if two of the three guys end up working out, i'll be very happy. So far, Fred Davis is the only one I think is a lock to have a solid NFL career ahead of him, though.
