The Saints moved up to take Cooks and they need defense. It has more to do with how the draft plays out rather than teams concentrating on drafting defense. Its whats available when you pick.

LOL. AS I WRITE THIS, BRIAN BALDINGER FROM PATH TO THE DRAFT JUST SAID EBRON WAS HIS FAVORITE PICK OF THE ROUND AND SAID DETROIT WILL BE VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO DEFEND.
LOLOLOL

Nix or Tuitt--I don't suspect both will be there when it's our turn. But landing one of these could help our possible issues at DT down the road.
Marcus Martin--best rated center in the draft. He could learn from Raiola this year and take over next. Say what u will about his douchebagginess, but Raiola is one of the smartest centers in the league at reading defenses and making adjustments.
Van Noy--have wanted to land him in the second round all offseason. Would shore up that other outside LB position as I'm not a big Palmer fan.
Baptiste or McGill--love their size at CB.
Ed Reynolds--he could really develop under Austin
It made me laugh watching the good teams in the NFL draft defense over and over, while the Lions drafted a TE. And no I'm not saying Minnesota is a good team.
After the top 20 picks -- the only team who drafted an offensive player without a trade is Carolina, who had no WR's at all on their roster. Every other team drafted defense, sans Minny, who traded back in with Seattle.
Is it a coincidence that out of the teams with the best 11 records in the NFL, 10 of 11 drafted defense? The only one who didn't was the team who had one of the best defenses in the league already and everyone coming back (Carolina)
Lol. So now the Lions should've drafted Fuller? I'll take Ebron to win that match-up. Nothing special about Dix as i said before. Ten wouldve been a reach.
