I don't think I would describe "CHANCE to become good NFL starter" as first round talent. That's why NFL people often say they don't ever view there being 32 actual 1st round talents in a draft yet there's 39 people with at least a 6.
That said, I agree with your overall message that they aren't required to draft DL in the first round to get decent help.

Side note:
It is kind of funny how they seem to change their prospect ranking system every other year. Gotta have consistency if you want something to ever catch on. For instance, just last year 5.50-5.99 was the "Chance to become good NFL starter." In 2013 a 70-84 was a "Eventual Starter". In 2011, they didn't even have numbers for their prospects.
I guess I don't get your point? Mine was pretty clear. Lots of Dline talent. Not much depth anywhere else this draft.
6 is a strong grade. There is a big drop off between a guy who is considered a 6 & a guy in the 5s, which is why I chose it.
