Goodberry did analysis of the defense - not pretty

2 paid DEs, 2 paid DTs, 2 paid LBs, 1-2 paid CBs, and they've used their first 3 draft picks in BOTH of the last two drafts on defense. Not top-5 paid guys, but still paid. At some point with all those guys getting contracts and all those high draft picks, you need to ask what's going on that we don't have better results right now.

If he needs paid guys at every position on the defense and the bulk of your draft in order to be good, is he actually that good?

To be fair alot of the issue is the development of the drafted defensive linemen. That 2021 heavy trench draft looks like a failure which is why they will likely have to do something similar this year.
