Can we see Carr clearly now?

Defense is old. Most out out draft capital has gone to offense, meanwhile we let a good amount of defensive take talent walk out the building.

Saints Draft Round 1-3 by Offense/Defense from 2015-present:
Defense: 18 picks.
Offense: 13 picks.

The draft turns into a complete mess after round 3 in terms of prospect vs payoff but for the sake of having the whole picture...

Saints Draft Round 4-7 by Offense/Defense from 2015-present:
Defense: 15 picks.
Offense: 16 picks.

So in total, since Ireland's hiring in 2015 the Saints have drafted 33 defensive players and 29 offensive players. With defense taking the majority of the high value picks.
