Ready for a nerdy post? Here goes....
In the past 3 years, there have been 29 head coaching hires. Both offensive and defensive "new hire" head coaches have made 27 total 1st round picks:
- 12 QBs have been taken in the first 2 rounds. 10 of them were taken by a defensive head coach "new hire".
- 6 WRs drafted by defensive new hires vs. 4 for offensive coaches
- 1 out of 27 defensive HC new hire first rounders were OL. 7 out of 27 for offensive HCs. 7 out of 13 offensive HCs took an OL in their first draft
Don't fall into the trap that offensive HCs care more about QBs. Based on recent history, they love OL. It's the defensive HCs that are drafting the offensive skill players.
