People keep arguing that it will delay the development of the younger guys but I think that's complete bs. There is a rotation. There is plenty of playing time and practice time for everyone. Depth is not a bad thing. If the young guys can't develop, it won't be because of one more decent player on this team. it will be because they simply aren't good enough, and then you'll be glad to have that experienced player on the roster.
You can't assume every draft pick is going to develop and work out. We know what McCoy offered, and it would have been nice to have that depth and some more interior pass rush. Doesn't matter much now. We'll see if it was the right move or a mistake in time.
