We could use DE depth, but you don't draft depth in the first 3 rounds when you're coming off a bad season with a losing record. We drafted for depth in the first round last year with Bryan and it bit us in the butt. We had real needs that we ignored. We need to build for now.

taking someone you have pegged as becoming top tier pass rusher is never a bad choice, even if there are better choices around. Calais is likely gone next year and we have next to nothing outside him and Yan. 
And no we didn't draft for depth with Byran , we drafted him because he has massive upside at a key position we had a need at with Malik going

Next year is the key. We have Calais this year. We can draft his replacement in 2020. Until then, Campbell and Yannick are one of the best DE duos in the NFL and we have massive needs in other areas (TE being one) and a TE in this draft that is most definitely one of the top 10 overall players. You and I can agree to disagree about Bryan. Bryan was a rotational player last season as Campbell and Jackson started, so he was indeed used as depth in 2018. We could've used that pick to address a different area with a better player, at a need area and filled the void left by Jackson a few weeks ago in this coming draft with an extremely talented 3 technique from a much deeper class. I had Bryan as a 4th round pick at best and so far, he has shown nothing to make me change my mind.
