Because Dave had sources tell him that Hamilton wouldn't be there in the fourth round, and Hamilton was the last player they felt had starting potential at DT.

Have I about got the usual reasons covered for Dave's annual third round reach?

For the record, I gave Quincy Williams an "F" grade and I don't give that grade lightly.  He was a guy projected to go undrafted.  I think this pick is a different scenario.  He's a role player.  His knock is pass rushing, but he was (presumably) drafted as a rush stuffer where he excels.  I like taking an every down player over a role player, but it's a role that was a desperately needed.  I can at least see the argument for him.
