Two things here: I feel like Odrick is a target of opportunity. In other words, they didn't expect him to be available but once he was, they made their move. He's a young, capable player that has a lot of football ahead of him. Those guys don't come to Free Agency all that often.


Secondly, the Front Office has stated that the OTTO position is a unique fit and hard to find the right player with which to man (see: Dakoda Watson), so you fill that spot whenever possible due to how tough it is to fill.


My two cents.
