My guess is the Chiefs' brass figured that if they re-signed Hudson, they wouldn't have enough to sign Houston. Probably better to keep the proven pass rusher and draft a premeir center than keep Hudson and take a shot on some dipshit project pass rusher like Dupree or Shane Ray in the first and hope he pans out converting to linebacker.
Of course if they can't re-sign Houston it backfires big time, but that might be what they were thinking.
Just a guess, though.
