To have a great offense or defense.  If measured by the last 4 AFC/NFC championship games, it’s offense in a landslide.  Of these 16 teams only 3 were out of the top 5 scoring teams for that year and this year’s had the 1,2,3, and 4.  On defense, 10 of the sixteen were outside the top five with this year being 7,14,20, and 24.  http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?archive=true&conference=null&role=TM&offensiveStatisticCategory=SCORING&defensiveStatisticCategory=null&season=2017&seasonType=REG&tabSeq=2&qualified=false&Submit=Go

The recent rule changes have created a perfect storm for offenses and teams that don’t get fully on board will wallow in mediocrity. As such, even with this being a defensive draft, if MK Metcalf is there at 16, run the card up.  At 6’3” 230, he’s slightly smaller but faster than Megatron and the same size but faster than J Jones and J Gordon.  That gives us 3 young WRs at 4.42 or better, along with Olsen, CMC, and Norv.  Add another OL and RB, then fill in on defense.  Get back to close to 30 points per game and let the chips fall where they may on defense.  Even with what’s on the team currently, the defense will finish higher than 20/24.

So you made all these conclusions based on 8 games? 4 for each conference?  Pretty small n in order to make such big conclusions. How about the last 4 Superbowls? Did offense or defense win? Did the best offenses score under or over their yearly average in the championship games? There is a lot you can do with this. But to determine our future needs based on what little information you used makes little sense. Seems you shaped the facts to fit your already determined opinion.

If Metcalf is BPA, you take him and concentrate on defense in the later rounds.

There is always more than one way to put the puzzle together. If it's the deepest draft on the D-line (in history, that I've seen proposed by some) in a while, then you can address those needs day two. But, no mistake about it, IF Metcalf is the BPA, you take him.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
