High level? Probably not. Better than your typical young practice squad guy? Probably, depending on who you sign. Just being a veteran with starting experience gives you a leg up over the young practice squad guy, who really is the bottom of the roster type you're talking about anyway.
We've also gotten by with vets signed off the street. Jeff Faine. Ced Benson. Larry Johnson. Dhani Jones. I also remember signing a vet LB off the streets several years ago and he filled in decent enough. Can't remember his name though.
Edit: I believe the player I'm thinking of was Lemar Marshall in 2007. Started 3 games for us in a pinch and totaled 9 tackles and a sack.
Jeez, I don't even remember that last guy....
