Last year it was and they took two DTs accordingly. Just saying, for all the crying about the lack of focus on the DL in the draft, they did just draft two guys last year and they'll likely draft at least another one this year.

Only after it became apparent that there was a dreadful situation about to materialize did this organization even bother to look at defensive tackles in the draft. Let's be honest, Golston and Montgomery saw action only because there was no one else left to play the position after Griffin and Salave'a got nicked up.
Oh sure, they'd go after rejects by the likes of Daryl Gardener, Brandon Noble, and Joe Salave'a ... they'd throw a bone every now and then with a semi-notable signing of Cornelius Griffin. But we've never seen the drive and determination to build a strong run defense with youth the way they've been frantically searching for the knock-out punch at wide receiver.
I mean really, you'd never mistake defensive tackle as their favorite target of improvement.
