Question

Jadeveon Clowney makes his debut for the Browns tomorrow, creating the rare occurance of a team having a defensive line with two players formerly picked No. 1 overall in the draft (Cleveland also has Myles Garrett). What was the last other team that fielded a defensive line with two former No. 1 overall picks? With this other team, one of the players was obtained in a trade, with the other arriving as a free agent (and they played together in the 2000-02 seasons).

Answer

Washington (with Dan Wilkinson and Bruce Smith). One other team has had two defensive No. 1 picks at the same time in the Super Bowl era: the Raiders (with Aundray Bruce and Russell Maryland playing together in the 1996-98 seasons).
