Importance of Defensive Tackles and Depth on Defense

That Guy is right, you can't just lock on to one position/player.

OK, well in the Redskins case, it's not just locking on to one position or player, it's also locking onto the fact that our defense is getting old, and we're not deep in any defensive position. To me it's locking onto the position I think we need the most improvement at, and building depth, it's a combination of two things, not just locking onto a DT.

Yeah I get that but the point is if your 1st or 2nd options are gone, you just can't stick with the notion that we need to draft a certain position otherwise you'll end up getting screwed on the value of the pick. You have to remain flexible depending on how the rest of the draft goes.
