But if what you guy said is true and there aren't many good players in a Rule 5, then i guess its not worth it.
there wouldn't likely be very good prospects available since being rule 5-eligible would essentially mean that it has taken them a long time to develop and that they still aren't ready. And even if you picked up a guy with decent potential, as others have said, he would need to be placed on the active 25-man roster... which he may not be ready for.

And yeah, generally the rule 5 draft doesn't have many decent-good players but it's always worth a look -- i've picked up some decent guys over the years.
