You're right. I missed OTs in the plot. For reference, MM drafted 6 and Tomlin drafted 5 in the first three rounds. So not much difference there.

On DTs, I don't know what kind of defense McCarthy ran in GB and DAL, 4-3 or 3-4?

I think GB was running a 34 when they beat us in the SB. But I'm not sure either.

"Base" defenses are sub packages now, but that was probably less true early in the dataset for both of these guys.

There has yet to be any actual facts or proof as to how much control MT had either, just media speculation and "unnamed sources."

We know that Tomlin and the GM were on equal footing, and Rooney had final say. Likely impossible to say who was most influential on any particular pick so difficult to analyze who contributed more to any particular success or failure as far as the draft other than to say they were all involved. If Coach T had a strong opinion one way or another it is hard to believe that would not be influential.

No one was on the roster that Tomlin didn't want to be there.
