See Osi Umenyora, Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck and JPP for proof over the years. It works.

We don't play a 4-3, we likely don't even play a 1-gap 3-4, and we're talking about the first pick in the draft. For a situational pass rusher. Or, for the sake of argument, we're talking about something maybe as low as 8. And to justify that you're using JPP, who went 15, or Kiawanuka at 32, or Umenyiora at 56, or 74 for Tuck.
(Not to mention Houston at 70)
So maybe they can afford to wait on that one.
