  • 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.
Something else to consider... doesn't it seem like offensive HCs try to find QBs who fit their system whereas defensive HCs can find the best QB, then hire an OC to fit that QB? Think of all the ridiculous QB trades, draft or free agency... most of those were made by offensive HCs.
