No one gives two [BLEEP] about defense in the NFL, it's an offense league. No matter how good the defense is this team's offense cannot score enough points to win games. Offensive weapons were available and overlooked. Caldwell should be fired.

While I am not that thrilled with the first round, I wouldn't go THIS far.

1.  Defense is very important in the NFL, even with all of the rules changes.  This last Super bowl is proof.

The year before, KC was 30th in total defense and didn't reach the Super Bowl. 

KC fired its defensive coordinator and brought in a couple of key defensive free agents.  They moved up to 10th in total defense.  They won the game.

San Francisco was 2nd in total defense, reached the Super Bowl primarily by running the ball down people's throats, and controlled most of the Super Bowl with defense and the running game.

Throughout their twenty year run that featured 9 Super bowl appearances and 6 wins, the Patriots have had a strong defense.

Denver won with defense, and Seattle went to back to back Super Bowls with a great defense.

Furthermore, there are still plenty of weapons available left in the draft.  Will we get enough of them AND still fill the holes in the offensive line and DT?  That s the question.

As I said in another post, we are drafting on a treadmill.
