You could say that about any position really.
It happens.

The reality is you can't overly stack every single position.
You have to take risks at certain positions, and you have to craft your PS and play the FA market/waiver wire accordingly throughout the year as injuries happen.

Ultimately, is a 3rd run-only NT with 0 pass rush like Montravius Adams going to be more valuable on the roster than an extra DE, especially if they do believe any of their DEs could kick inside to help rush the passer?

I would argue they already have 4 dudes who can stop the run.
Jenkins, Hill, Jackson, and Slaton are all better at stopping the run than rushing the passer.
All can also play 1T as well if need be.
