why? a guess....

I'm still trying to come to grips with the way this draft has gone - please bear with me, I'm trying to think positive (while gritting teeth).

The more I think about it, the more I like getting Sullivan. Cost aside. But what about the rest of it, why did it fall the way it did after him?

Hypothesis: coach knows we need an OLB (glaring need), has pick #37 to work with, Perhaps coach believes Bailey might be available there, takes a chance. But Bailey goes a couple moves too soon. Bummer.

Coach still has #37 to work with. Hm. Henderson? - he's ILB (and we've already commited $ and contract to Ruff). Maybe he thinks remaining OLB's are interchangeable, and only worth a 3rd. Assuming that, change plan -- keep #37, take best talent available, get one of the "interchangeable" OLB's with the 3rd.

Just a guess. Probably way off, but this is the only scenario I've thought of so far that would explain this.
