Default Loaded with high draft selections

I was going through the roster the other day and realised that we have an insane number of high picks on the team.

1st rounders
Offense
Luck, Castanzo, Nelson, Kelly, Ebron

Defense
Hooker

2nd rounders
Offense
Smith, Funchess, Campbell,

Defense
Hunt, Turay, Lewis, Ward, Sheard, Leonard, Banogu, Wilson, Ya-Sin, Collins

That's a total of 19 guys who were originally either 1st or 2nd round draft picks. 8 on offense and 11 on defense.

Things really are looking very bright. We need to continue to see improvement from our young guys, and we haven't really shown that our defense can stop a potent offense yet. But we are one of the youngest teams out there, with another 3 picks in the first 2 rounds next year!

I wondered the same.

It's a young man's sport though. I guess I'm glad they're not taking the same approach as some other teams (cough...Cardinals...)
