Here's the problem with a guy like O'Connell on the roster: He doesn't add any value to the team. Not offensively, defensively or even special teams.

Hey, if the Chiefs believe that O'Connell is raw but with talent, I have no problem with a guy like that on the practice squad. He'll still get reps and have an opportunity to prove his worth.

But a guy like O'Connell, at least from what we've all seen, doesn't deserve a roster spot. Fill it with guys like Andy Studebaker, Wallace Gilberry or even Tim Castille, a guy that has bounced around the league for a while but brings a certain value to the squad (and for the record, I'm fan of all three. Castille proved his worth the moment he was acquired on waivers).

Just don't give it to a guy because you drafted him, especially when he's downright awful.
