I'll tell you why... the FO drafts players based on raw talent instead of the totality of the player. There is a reason that the defense is deplorable; there a lot of "athletes" on defense and not enough football players.
That's why there are so many blown coverages and assignments. Football IQ is not being taken into consideration enough in the draft.

We haven't consistently drafted highly and we haven't taken lots of defensive players in early rounds. That being said, when we do, our picks are not usually considered "reaches".
And that was the point I was making about the Texans. When you draft 9 years worth of defensive players in the first round over 10 years. You'll end up with at least 3-4 good players. Especially if you are picking in the top 15.
