not too bad, not at all bad
Ja bih nešto ovako sasvim obično.
Well, our PhD students are not at all bad. Ili not too bad, ili good enough, što bi značilo da su ustvari dobri.
Pogledajte referencu.

Ovo je samo predlog.

...aren't chopped liver, either
U slicnoj nameni cesto se upotrebljava navedeni idiom.
Recenica bi glasila:
Well, PhD students aren't chopped liver, either.
Primeri:
"...Dance Company is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a nationwide tour that features seven beautifully trained men and four women – who aren’t chopped liver, either."
http://philadelphiadance.org/blog/tag/dance-celebration/
"The other band members aren't chopped liver, either."
http://metal-archives.com/review.php?id=1416
"I realize that Crosby is the marquee player in the league right now, but the other guys aren't chopped liver either."

useless
As in:
PhD students aren't exactly useless either.
IMHO, this would be the most natural way of saying it in English.

Reference:
Mislim da se ovdje ne radi o disposable. "Nije za bacit" mi nema negativnu konotaciju.
Prije bih rekla kako su studenti dobri.
BTW, često koristim ovaj izraz, samo što nikad nisam razmišljala o njegovom prijevodu.
