Probably because in terms of talent Hudson was higher on our draft board.
And we're also going to try to get a big in free agency, we don't need another young-ish guy who may or may not play.
They probably figured if they were gonna take on a guy who's a long shot it might as well be somebody who fell in the draft and who could maybe replace a guy they might lose this year or a year or two down the road (Eddie House).
