Alright guys, this is my first thread but I feel like it needs to be asked.... Why would'nt we just make the early picks in the draft about the defense?

Now before you jump on the offensive line needs, I understand we have needs on the oline, but I say we assemble a gnarly defense with the first 2 picks and then address the offensive needs down the line. We have a solid defensive core (4th best last year mind you), add Haynesworth&Hall and a talented DE with the 13th pick, and there is a defense worth talking about. Add talented LB in the 3rd round and we are on to something.

There have been teams with mediocre offenses that go deep into the playoffs on the back of their defense right? Maybe I am crazy.
