Adding sucky players to your roster is never a good thing.

Well, Nickerson was a young player who supposedly had more of a chance of improving, and he was pitiful.

You also only have so many draft picks and most rookie 5-7th round picks are not able to step in and contribute in any real meaningful capacity.  

Anarumu may also be looking to light a fire under some of the guys on the back end of the roster.  If the current guys see him bringing in some of his boys, they're likely to start feeling the heat.  Honestly, when you look at how bad we've been in the 4th quarter of the last couple of preseasons, it's pretty clear that a lot of the bubble guys either aren't being pushed or just aren't that good.
