Defense and The "New NFL"

3

I was thinking about last nights game and wouldn't it be smart going forward to draft as many defensive players as possible, sign them to team-friendly 5 year rookie deals, then shuffle them when they're over? Really seems like Offense is the new wave of the NFL and when I look at contracts like Houston and Berry why would any team hurt their cap so strongly when it could be diverted to directly scoring points (sort of like a Moneyball-ish approach to the evolving game)? Am I overreacting?
