Because there are not better DE's that are available and fit into our system at the price. I'd like to have added Canty instead, but that aint possible now, is it?
Kendall as a back up guard is a good thing. Not a long term deal, but a hell of an insurance policy with Thomas coming off that neck surgery.
I still think we draft a guard with our 3rd pick and hope he and/or Rienhart develop.
Not much of a crop at LB to pick from. Crowell at least is familiar with the coaches and players. Again this could be addressed with our 1st draft pick.
OT (see above)

In short, there are not a lot of young, up and coming, players out there as FA's. We got 2 (or if you count Dock, 3) of the best available. We still get to draft another with our first pick. We need to fill in the remaining gaps in our depth with experienced, affordable, vets that fit our system.
