I am on record as liking Uche. I don't think he was elite, but he has a lot of heart and is a great locker room guy. I understand guys wanting an upgrade. My concern is that we created a hole where there wasn't a glaring need. LG and C were glaring needs. Now we need to supplement in FA and the draft. Yes we have the cap room, but now we need to address another need as we obviously have not had the depth. I won't cry over the loss of Uche, but regardless of his price tag he was someone you could plug in as a starter. Rackley has been awful. McClendon serviceable. Brewster pathetic. We may overspend in FA now as agents know we are desperate. Or we now have to alter our draft strategy to address this new hole. Uche will be picked up somewhere quickly. He isn't nearly as bad as some have made him out to be.
