Somewhere on this site, prior to the current season, we were having a discussion about draft pick tendencies. Original point was that too much time and money was spent on the Offense, not enough on Defense.
But the draft numbers actually point to a lot of recent attention on Defense, especially in the earlier rounds.
Does anyone think that is at play here? Does anyone remember that post?
Because I have been searching for half an hour and can't find it.
Here is the data:

Maybe sort it by round, or by replacing your Rk with an Offense/Defense designation.
2011 was skewed to Offense, 2012 to Defense overall. Eyeballing the data it looks pretty even, especially over the last 3 years.
There have been a lot of R1 picks on Defense (Randall, HaHa, Datone, Perry), with Bulaga and Sherrod between the Raji/Clay picks of 2009. I have no problem with the R1 picks being more defense -- it seemed like that side of the ball needed a lot of talent.
Given that we have Aaron Rodgers as our QB and an offense that has been well respected throughout the NFL (I'm thinking even as far back as 2009) but a 'D' that has left much to be desired.Quote:

who journeyed to Denver, who died in Denver, who came back to

brooded & loned in Denver and finally went away to find
out the Time, & now Denver is lonesome for her heroes,
I'm not there… yet ... I do not sleep.Quote:
