And on that note, as much as many are panicking about left tackle (where I'm confident we'll address it one way or another) defensive end is almost as big of a need. I wish we could find a vet FA left tackle to be a stopgap so we could use that 1st on a pass rusher if one is available.

I don't disagree with any of that.
personally, I would prefer a vet stop-gap ala Reiff, Okung, or Villanueva paired with a 2nd or 3rd round pick like Walker Little or Dillon Radunz. I would prefer to go DE in the 1st, and if you have a vet that can give you decent LT play for a year, then you're in good shape moving forward if you drafted well.
