Agree with others, it'd be negligent not to use this draft to improve the DL. There have been a couple of occasions on the simulators I've seen most of the DT talent dry up by our 2nd pick, and I've ended up going for a DE and later-round DT. I don't think that's impossible.
In pretty much every mock I've done though, I've ended up taking a DT AND DE in the first 3 picks, sometimes all 3 picks have been DL. I absolutely hated watching our DL last year, it needs improvement across the board. The lack of speed and bend at DE, and the lack of...anything at DT, outside of Jones, was painful to watch.
In some ways it's a shame this isn't an offense heavy draft. I still think that should be the identity of this team, and as bad as the DL was, it wasn't half as bad as our entire offense. But we've got to take what's there - rebuild the DL and RB rooms, and if we can fill in any gaps elsewhere, like CB, great.
