If we were signing Ahman as our feature back, you'd have a point. We are using him as a 3rd RB. I don't see that as being desperate at all. Injuries can force these types of moves too.

I would think that in 5 years of drafting by Ted, we wouldn't have to be digging through the scrap heaps for players.

Requirements to fill out the roster mid-season due to injuries are a completely separate issue.

Oh really, explain that to me please.
Why do we have a taxi squad (practice squad to you youngsters)?
Are the guys that Ted drafted that are on there not good enough to play ( Lumpkin for example)?

So your issue is, why didn't we bring Lumpkin up? Or why is Lumpkin on the PS and not Ahman Green, if Green is our best option at this point in time to fill in?
I think those questions answer themselves, actually, with a little dose of common sense.
Practice squads could also be considered "scrap heaps", seeing as any team has the ability to take a player from them and put them on their roster.
