Lehman. Thomas, B. James and B. Carpenter

Skip, did you ever see Carpenter played in college? He was a very productive linebacker, as Lehman and Thomas. I just can't beleive that these players forgot how to play ball as soon as they become pros. You may see cases like Dwayne Rudd, it took him time to hit the starting lineup and had a great season last year. The players I previously mentioned, for one reason or the other have had a difficult time with their teams, than don't make them bad players just because they haven't started.

I think that if you read my post carefully you may understand that I am saying that they are worth a look, not maybe to start (although we may get a surpise) but as depth. They are certainly better than the back-ups we currently have.

I posted this thread because a lot of the posters around here are living in dreamland, considering that we will bring some of the high-price free-agents and immediatelly solve the problem at defense.

Me, I am more realistic and think that you build with the draft and middle of the road free agents. To me, this is the logical way to go.
