Am I reading too much into this statement, or does this sound like they don't emphasis sacks as much and would prefer players that will consistently get in the backfield and disrupt the play over the guys that avg 1-2 sacks a game.
I think that is fair and probably a smart way to run a defensive front. Everyone wants that DE that can take over the game with his pass rush, but you want guys that can dominate the LOS every down and earn that 3rd and long QB feast. So if you can take the OT and push him into the pocket, get into run/throwing lanes, it affects the offense in the pass and run. Then you pull out your best moves to get to the QB as a pass rusher.

For the record, I like the draft, but what else do you expect Ireland to say? Would be funny if he said something like "That a-hole Joe Brady took Marshall right out from under us, so we panicked and just took the highest rated Ohio State guy left on the board."

This is great and all and I totally agree with the premise. But we should also be looking for that one dimensional elite pass rusher that can come in on obvious 3rd down passing downs and cause havoc more consistently.
I think Hendrickson was pretty good in that role when he didn’t have to start. But it has cost us in the playoff games the last 4 years or so. Hendrickson was great last year until he got injured at the end of the year and you could tell he wasn’t the same in the playoffs and it cost us.
