I'd probably play it. Your diamonds are completely live as are most of your straight cards. See what 4th street brings and reevaluate. If you catch a baby and the other lows brick you can put pressure on them to get them to fold.

It's not bad at all. Your cards are live; play the hand without hesitation.

It's good - your cards are live and you have an emergency low draw.
