if they're both available, trade down a few spots to try to pick up a third and take whichever one is left. If we get unlucky and they're both gone a few spots later, trade down again.

The defensive talent gap in this draft is like this:

Solomon Thomas: 3rd-6th

Reuben Foster: Pass. If Anthony can't learn our scheme, no chance in hell foster can. Plus he has a tendency to inflict brain damage on himself. I'd be surprised if he can read street signs.

barnett/charlton: 11th-16th

after that there are maybe 10 defensive players all bunched together that in another year all would have a shot at being first rounders, but just due to shear numbers they'll be spread from late first all the way to the end of the second, maybe even early third. We could get Tak mckinley, tim williams, a safety, a corner, an offensive weapon, and maybe more. If there was ever a draft to do something like this, it would be this one.

I was going to say something similar. There's no need to take Taco at 11, he'd probably be around at 18 or so too if you could trade back. Sean and Loomis are notorious for falling in love with prospects and reaching though.
