[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 732262, member: 7261"] This goes through my head around this time every year. "Who isn't ready to be on the 53, but has enough potential that you want to keep him "safe"." Last year I believe it was Callahan they tried to protect by putting him on the 53 to begin the season and when they later tried to slide him over to the PS, the Saints snatched him up. MM wasn't happy. Guessing it's a very talked about strategy when those last 5 or so spots are determined. I think you are right though, if there is a player with short term upside (like Janis, yes I said it ;)) you keep him over a rookie who has potential, but nothing other than some preseason film for other teams to look at. I could be wrong, but seems like most of the waiver moves at that time of year (besides the cuts) are teams picking up cast off veterans, because they may be a better option for depth than that team currently has. The rookies picked up are usually to improve another team's Practice Squad. An unproven rookie like Dupre or Clark is probably a safe bet to be placed on the practice squad and not desired enough by another team to be snatched for their 53. Every team and their fans are busy watching all these cinderella stories unfold within their organization and a guy like Michael Clark probably isn't on anyone's radar but Packer fans and coaches.
