Veach has been pretty forthright on that one.
They panicked. They had a couple guys they liked with 3 picks left, both guys went, they wanted a DE and he was the next DE on the board. My memory is that the guy they really wanted was Josh Jackson and the Packers sniped him just ahead of us. When that happened they just thought "well crap, the DE pool was bad to begin with so we'd better get one soon" rather than go strict BPA.
He's called it a mistake and he appears to have learned from it.
