No not necessarily. We were 7-9 and fairly competitive in most of the games we played with our worst roster in quite some time. We still need immediate help but long term best interests for our team is a decision to weigh. You are not drafting a player for 1 year but his whole rookie contract. If you think Smith will heal fine drafting him would be a stash for future seasons and would provide you a player that otherwise you will not be in position to draft again or sign in FA for the remainder of Drew's time here.
With Cam, Grant, Will Smith and others the DE position we have repeatedly been shown value is available anywhere in rounds 1-2. Von Miller, Patrick Willis, and most your elite LB'ers are usually top 10 picks.
It is easier IMO opinion to build defenses around LB'ing corps. Think about every defense that year in and year out were very respectable if not great.
Urlacher, Brooks, Ray, Kuelchly, Miller, etc when you find elite talent at LB it becomes easier to fill in everything else.

Man, we are talking about a historically bad defense that couldn't stop the run, pressure the passer, or stop the pass. We were only reasonably competitive b/c we have a HOF quarterback who by the way, ain't getting any younger.
A defense with this many holes can't afford to take a chance on a first round pick that may not play or worse, may not recover.
I just don't follow the logic at all.
Now, if Dr. Andrews says he's gonna be fine by September, maybe you reconsider. Tearing an ACL and MCL is not a quick recovery.
