helping the defense w/offense.

When we look @ BA's experience in indy last season,it begs the question,how did indy turn a 2-14 club into an 11-5 playoff team?the kneejerk reaction of course is to say"Andrew Luck stupid!"and of course drafting andrew luck did have a great deal to do with their 9 game adjustment,but is there more to it than that?
If we review indy's draft,we see a team that was serious about getting andrew luck as many tools/weapons as they could to give him the best possible chance to succeed.
The defense also had a number of issues & needed attention,but indy did something curious,they decided that the best thing they could do to mask the deficiencies of a suspect defense was to bulk out their offense,(& judging from the results,i would have to say this tactic was quite successful.)
So how does this relate to the cardinals? Ba has said that we have a MUCH more talented roster than he had to work w/in indy & also indicated that our offensive issues were mostly because of the obvious,1.protection issues, & 2.no run support. with the additions made to the team in free-agency,some of the issues have been partially addressed,but some glaring needs still remain,with indy's draft history & subsequent success,how likely is it that the q-ball bros,(Keim & BA,)will follow a similar draft strategy in an attempt to duplicate past success?
