Data Says DT

I've been feeling like OLB is a riskier pick than DT but have had trouble explaining why that might be. Then I cam across this great little article on Football Outsiders that breaks down the data. Given where the Browns currently are, I think it adds to the reasons to select Bunkley or N'Gata at #12 if they are still available. In fact, I'll be pretty suprised if Savage opts to do anything else. Sure, we need linebackers. But we need a true force on the defensive line, and we are unlikely to get that guy in the second round.

I agree with you if N'Gata is there, because he is a special talent. Other than that they need to get a LB, because after the 1st round there won't be any (STARTING) LB worth taking.  Another thing is that we are knee deep in DT, DE and not so at LB where we are very, very thin.
