Thomas is in play at 9 but I like Foster more personally. I think Foster finally gives us another playmaking linebacker to play beside Burfict. Foster is a missile and has solid coverage skills and pass rushing ability on top of his tackling ability. By all accounts he has been a leader on Bama's Defense the last couple of years as well. Elflein seems like the best fit at Center even though I really like Pocic but Pocic is 6'7" and I don't know how that would work out with Dalton under Center. Waiting for Center until the third may be a better option and then hoping Elflein falls to that spot while picking up a pass rusher like Demarcus Walker early in the 2nd.

Foster was a tackling machine, but the Voch Lombardi breakdown really concerns me.  It showed just how much he relies on his athletic ability to make up for his questionable instincts and read/react ability.  He got away with at Alabama because their DL was good enough to keep blockers from getting to him.  Ours isn't.  My other main concern is only 7 sacks, no interceptions, no forced fumbles, and no fumble recoveries during his college career.  If I'm taking a LB in the top ten, he needs to be making more big plays than that.
