Breakdown of offensive and defensive draft picks under MM for the first four rounds

[morasp]

Just a quick breakdown of offense vs. defense draft picks since MM was HC for the first four rounds. The first round is even but overall the Cowboys have been heavy on defense and hopefully it will continue to payoff.

Round 1
2 offense and 2 defense

Round 2
1 offense 3 defense

Round 3
1 offense 5 defense

Round 4
2 offense 5 defense

Totals
15 defense
6 offense

Because when he got here the defense was in shambles.

This is as much a reflection as the team he inherited as anything. The first-round split is the most telling of MM's priorities.

Yes, it seemed like our drafts had an offensive bias when JG was the HC. MM seems to have the big picture in mind. I think with the three picked this year, the development of the picks from previous drafts, and the CB the defense should be even better this year.
