New York Giants Wasted Roster Space: Beckum, Wilkinson and Moss

Can anyone explain to me how Sinorice Moss(IR), Gerris Wilkinson, and Travis Beckum made the 2010 New York Giants roster?
I can name two other players per position the Giants would have been better off with than those three stiffs. The Giants could have easily replaced Moss with Hagan or Brown, Beckum with Pascoe or Chandler, and Wilkinson with Campbell or Johnson.
I do understand Pascoe is on the practice squad after clearing waivers, but can anyone go to sleep at night thinking Travis Beckum can play at the NFL level? Yes, he is young and has great hands, but in a year and half, he has spent most of his time on injured reserve.
Pascoe was a great blocker with good hands. The team would be better off with him in uniform than Beckum in the training room.
Wilkinson? Another mystery to me. Wilkinson has had 46 tackles in four seasons. The Giants have had him play inside and outside linebacker; however, it doesn't matter where they move him, because he can not stay healthy enough to contribute.
We could make a case for Micah Johnson, cut in Giants mini camp and recently signed by the Dolphins; or Lee Campbell, cut by the Giants in minicamp and snatched up by the Lions.Neither of these two players were even given a chance to play in pads.
The Big Blue fan base has seen four years of Wilkinson and there still waiting for something. It seems his body has betrayed him or he has very bad luck.
Now the biggest mystery of them all...behind door number No. 83. Sinorice Moss. The biggest second-round draft "bust" the Giants have had in 20 years (maybe Kanvis McGhee in 1991). Moss had one catch in all of 2009 and 39 total receptions in four years. Pathetic!
Sure he's on IR...But WHY? Sooner or later he's gonna be sucking up space.
How about his college career? The Miami University Athletic Site posted Moss numbers.
