Umm... Maybe you could argue that above average guys on offense are able to beat out above average guys on defense due to rules skewing the league but I think this is incredible hyperbole here and patently untrue.
So draft picks on offense:
I'm not saying they won't draft a RB but I think people would be disappointed in how much Rams probably ready to go to war with Williams, Rivers and an undrafted FA next year (or a camp addition FA).
Umm...that was my point. The rules overwhelmingly favor offenses.
And the Rams organization's philosophy tends to prove my point. Just look how they allocate their resources.

An example of an option is Washington. They have a real need for OL/WR and have R2.36 and R2.40. Just spitballing but Rams offer R1.19/Tutu/R6 pick and could get 2 nice picks in early R2. Fiske/Cooper or Robinson/Cooper or Robinson/Cooper would be nice scenarios with those picks.
Seems to be more of a case of bad QB play. That's why possibly 6 guys are likley to go in the top 20, and 2 are not first round talents.Where Has All the Offense Gone This NFL Season?
Warren Sharp breaks down the NFL's lack of offense in 2023: low scoring, competitive balance, penalties, red zone efficiency and much more.
Is that why you think they did it?
I'd really encourage you to watch some football games around the league. A huge part of the change is defenses doing a fantastic job. They're all playing shell coverages now to eliminate big plays and many teams are rotating coverages after the snap to muddy the reads. They're some great QB play, they're just not having as much explosives.
Last year more than half of the 1st round picks were on the Defensive side. This year seems to be an anomaly with most of the top 15-20 talent being offensive players.
