Just taking a quick look at relative draft value (Rich Hill) the pick of Quay Walker was valued at 253 points. Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Samori Toure, Sean Rhyan, Zach Tom, and Rasheed Walker *combined* for a points value of 258. Ergo our #22 pick at DE was more or less as much "Draft equity" invested in one single position than 6 picks spread across WR and OL. And of course that does not include Devonte Wyatt (1-28 / 209 pts) either. On the whole the investment in players for the defense absolutely dwarfs the value invested in WR/OL - 474 to 258. And it's not like we are "loading up" by paying out huge amounts to those positions either. We are (per OTC.com) 24th in WR spending and 25th in OL spending (and even including Rodgers' contract we are 15th in offensive spending on the whole) while 12th in total defensive spending. So while it may technically be true that we invested more heavily in those positions than any other single group this season - at least by measure of the number of players added at a given position - it's certainly not where we've chosen to invest most heavily in terms of both money and draft capital *value*.</blockquote>
