Funny how we always talk about the offensive line being neglected year after year.

The D-line has seen even less draft-related action. Before taking Brian Orakpo last year, there hasn't been a defensive linemen drafted by this team in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round since 1997 with Kenard Lang. It's been other teams' castoffs, free agents, or long shots taken in the 5th round or later that we've been relying on.

More proof of the defensive implosion that was bound to happen sooner or later.
