Yes, useful in politics too. He could have just said, "we didn't have the cap room to sign anyone this year" or "we've got to nail all our picks this year because help is not on the way" and left it at that. But he applied some happy spin and rambled about a shared philosophy of building through the draft, which is pure coach/GM speak. No team can be built entirely through the draft because it's such a crapshoot. Even the best GMs at identifying talent have 1st round busts and down years, leaving their rosters with gaping holes.

So that means they're picking someone like Nolan Smith. I'm leaning toward that being the better move. Can stock up on the offensive line in rounds 2-5. Apparently it's a deep draft for O-line.

I'm not interpreting that particular Q&A to mean they'll address pass rush with their first pick. 
Maybe.
Maybe they sign another vet. At the time of the response they were still trying to land Calais. 
Maybe a player falls to them at 24 they can't pass on for the best available pass rusher.
Maybe they are looking for an interior pass rusher.

Lots of possibilities.
