I trust them to draft defensive players. I just don't trust them to accurately evaluate and pick GOOD defensive players. I also don't think appealing to the past is a great reason for not even trying in the future.

However I'm a fan of Earl Thomas. He's got a good few years left. A few years of a player his calibur is worth a 2nd round pick. Especially given our weakness on the back end.

Consider KC's offense. Kelce -3rd around. Hunt - 3rd round Hill - 5th round Mahomes - 10th pick

And, you know... KC used draft capital to trade into position for more than one of them. Let's not pooh pooh the value of draft picks.
