When Ced/Jake were drafted, they were supposed to set this team up at OT for the foreseeable future.  Instead, they set it back for almost half a decade.  That may have skewed their thinking a bit.  Hart is by almost all accounts an awful player.  While that may be the case, his predecessors were probably demostrably worse and also unavailable in Fisher's case.  

Hart represents relative stability to them.  He's a placeholder until a better option arrives.  This seems even more true with reports of them wanting to draft a second OT this past April.  He's our burden to bear until something better comes along.  Hopefully it happens soon.

Or they realize that we'll likely be rebuilding for a few years and Hart is young. We just had too many holes to fill in one offseason.
