re: Zero DL drafted in last 8 years

Overall, not a lot of hand-on-the-ground defensive linemen have been drafted in the last 10 years. Assuming most NFL teams are in a 3-4 alignment, 13% of the rosters are defensive linemen. But much fewer than 13% of draft picks are defensive linemen, if my memory serves me correctly.

NFL loves DE's and OLB's but they really don't give a shite about hand in the dirt DL's lately.
