I think the problem is how they performed in preseason if they even played at all. I think we could point to a few better players who got cut over a drafted rookie. Take Frost for example some would say he had experience and outperformed Brooks for that job. Brooks got the job and we really do not know how this will work out.

And the problem with this complaint is: We do know how the people the draftees were brought in to replace played. You don't want a draftee challeging your position - play well consistently. Show the team there is not a need at your position. Even then, if you're an older player and not tagged to be a starter: Beware, when it comes to depth, youth is a benefit and age a liability.

You can't judge a draft pick solely on how they performed in preseason. They just got in the league. Give em time to develop. Judge the 08 draft in 2010, not a week after the preseason.
