As far as the whole "Defense wins championships" thing is concerned, I just don't buy it. It is just a cliche as far as I am concerned. Yeah, the Giants with their strong D beat arguably the best O in NFL history, but that was just one game. Last year the Bears' stout D lost to the Colts Highpowered Offense, so it can go either way.

Someone conceded that a strong D alone will not win it all, and that some kind of offense is necessary, but that isn't necessarily true either. Remember the Ravens?

In the end it what matters is that you have a strong team, whether it be on D or O or both. From that stand point one would have to look on our draft positively because getting the best value for your picks would seem to be key. I too am disappointed that we haven't addressed our aging D-line, but I am willing to give the organization the benefit of the doubt. If we continue to ignore our needs on the lines, however, I will grow increasingly wary of their decisions, but now is not the time to panic.

I think this team is in a "rebuilding" phase, as it were. It will most likely take another couple of drafts to solidify the team, and address all of our needs. I think this draft could prove to be a great stride in the right direction, but only time will tell.
