I might add Carimi and Wiesnewski as options at 33 (and Pouncey and Watkins), but I certainly strongly agree with your analysis.
This year feels a lot like 2003 when we had 2 first round picks and wanted one of the top DE's. We made a minor trade up for Ty Warren. We wanted to be sure we got one of the top DE's.

Maybe we should distinguish roster priorities from draft priorities.
I totally agree that the interior OL has to be addressed, but IMO it doesn't make sense to focus on the first round for that purpose. You could totally remake the line with something like Watkins or Ijalana at 33, Boling or Carpenter at 60, and Fusco at 92. But if your first round was, say, Pouncey & Watkins, you've pretty much passed on the rare chance to nab a legit 5-tech DL.
