Both Kirksey and Wagner are stop-gap guys. Personally I don't have a problem with it. The 6th worst RT is still better than nobody - which is where we are at right now unless you think Light is an option. There was not much out there this year at OT unless you want an old guy or other guys coming off crappy seasons.
They simply weren't going to be able to afford Bulaga and fill other holes. The last thing you want is to go into the draft with huge holes forcing you to reach, or telegraphing to other teams where you need to go. TT did that too often.
A side benefit . . . both of these guys are street free agents so don't count against the compensatory pick formula. If Bulaga and Martinez sign a pair of rich contracts they might get a nice comp pick or two next spring.
