What I see is a number of young defenders with solid histories being drafted with team that understands HOW to use these athletes in the Saleh scheme.
Going back to Mike Shanahan, this scheme never needed superstar O line personnel to get production on the ground. So if the line can be OK, they'll be fine. This draft was weak and I'm not sure there was a lot of distinction between guys going round 2 versus guys going round 5. So I imagine in a draft like this, best to get the guys that can play your scheme as they become available.

Part 1 supports my point that they should've traded back from 11. They were just outside range for the Elite prospects.
For part 2 I believe the consensus was that while this was a down year for QBs or elite players in general, it was actually strong in rounds 2-3.
