I think we are far more likely to find a pro bowl tackle in the 2nd round than we ever are a DE of similar stature in this current draft. There could be 3 or 4 guys at tackle with genuine potential to become pro bowlers, you might be lucky if there is one remaining DE.
Good point. Determining who is better can be subjective depending on the situation. Not sure Jerry Hughes is the best example though since he was an absolute turd when he played for the Colts, lol.

I hope you're right on getting a tackle. We need to be able to protect Wentz, and what we currently have on the roster at the most important OL spot won't cut it. At least without sacrificing at LG.
