The problem is that we have been misjudging which players of this type to draft.  We have used a lot of good draft picks (2nd-4th round) on D-linemen recently with very little success.

This.  I realize I don't know squat, but I did not like any of this group of players except Moch.  It's not like anyone else got anything out of these guys either.  I don't know if the problem is outright poor assessment, overestimating their upside or thinking they will excel if we use them in a way different than they were used in college.

We hit the nail on the head with Dunlap - and I think we were all excited over that pick.  But I did not like Still from the start and thought he was a third rounder at best.

They did well with Geno, but the fact that we waited till the fourth round makes me think that they underestimated his abilities from the start (of course so did the rest of the league)
