Why did we keep Tryon?

[Larry Michael is Satan]

the practice squad was made for guys like tryon. I can't believe he actually earned a spot on the roster. Granted, I'm no NFL talent evaluator, but the guy just doesn't look like a player. I hate to be skeptical, but really Vinny? All of those 6th and 7th round picks are NFL worthy? Wow, you ARE a genius.

Those 6th and 7th rounders beat out pretty weak competition. Would you rather have a young guy like Chris Horton or an older guy like Vernon Fox? The former is unproven, but he's young and has some talent. The latter might know the system, but he's older and has proven that he is not going to be a decent starter. So, the question isn't whether those 6th or 7th rounders are great; it's whether they are better than the alternatives.
