this year, the talk is there is a ton of depth in the draft on defense, especially d line.

so why do mocks then suggest everyone use their early picks on defense. i've even read the reasoning that teams will use their first picks on defense BECAUSE of the depth there.

if you can get a good player at the same position later in the draft, why wouldnt you look at other positions where there are fewer good players.

not just this year, i see this line of reasoning seemingly every year in the draft.
