Just look at some of the greatest pass rushers in history. They weren't all first rounders. Guys like......


Jared Allen was drafted in the 4th round

Reggie White went to the USFL before he went to Philadelphia

Kevin Greene was drafted in round 5

Michael Strahan was drafted in round 2

Jason Taylor was drafted in round 3

John Randle was undrafted


You can find quality d-linemen in the mid rounds. I'm not saying we should ignore that need, I just think the O-Line is a bigger priority and once we install a true 4-3 or 3-4 scheme instead of a hybrid, it will make a difference as well.

oline isnt a bigger priority over pass rusher. Getting to the quarterback is about the most important thing you can do. Tons of serviceable olineman are found every year, a couple really great pass rushers being found late isnt going to change the fact that more often than not those elite guys are going in the first. Pass and run blocking can also be compensated for with scheme and a Quarterback who isnt terrible but pass rush isnt just gonna get schemed into game changing levels.
