FA pass rushing DT's were getting WAY more than they merited in FA (I would not have payed one). If we didn't love any of the Rd1 types in the draft, this solution was a decent one. 

And while I hated the Stewart pick (too risky, likely needs a year), he does have a high ceiling and if he hits, he can help at DE and interior pass rush. Two birds with one stone. Which is always a tempting bet when you are trying to fill a lot of holes.

If Stewart can end up notching 6-8 sacks a year, help bolster the run defense, and have versatility to play base end and nickel DT, I can be happy with the pick.
I too was (am) worried he's a couple (or a few) years away from being overly impactful though.
