Some fine interior linemen were still available as late as the fifth round...

Obviously his individual grade in their minds made him worth it. He was certainly worth more to them than all three that you mentioned. I wasn't there, of course, when they spent who knows how many hours and days compiling their list. I'll bet his upbringing and willingness to work played a major factor. The kid appears to have his priorities straight. He's the type of player that could make others around him better just by example.
