Seattle adds Quenton Jefferson at DT/DE in the draft and signs another UDFA who could be that guy that makes the roster at DT, Brandin Bryant...Seattle may finally have an interior pass rush, beyond Bennett.
Clemons or Ryan Robinson will add depth on the edge in rotation
Arizona is definitely improved with Collins and Nkemdiche.
Rams are elite though.

Eagles!

I'm excited to see what Schwartz can do with this front 7.
And no this was not a "biased pick"!

It's really close, I give the edge to Carolina do to the LB's behind them.

When people see how good Cox is playing in his natural position and how good Curry is finally playing in his natural position and even Brandon Graham playing in his natural position this might not be close. Crazy how none of these guys have got to play where they're supposed to yet. Mostly because of Chip Kelly demanding a 3-4 defense despite the 4-3 talent on the roster.

I'm an Eagles fan but ill go Carolina. Cox is the best and Logan is borderline pro bowl. The wild card is Vinny Curry. His a great pass rusher that didn't fit the 3-4 at all. Philly resigned him for huge money and expect him to breakout and be a double digit sack guy. What makes Carolinas D better is the spectacular LBs behind the D line.

Any DL that can carry Crybaby Newton to the superbowl has to be the best.

The Eagles have the better single player in Cox imo, but the rest of the Panthers have more overall quality with Short, Star and Johnson.

Carolina was a top 3 defense last year.

Philly was a bottom half defense. And were one of the worst run Ds in the league.

It's just one man's opinion, but Greg Rosenthal from nfl.com ranks Carolina DL #5 and Philly #6. He also did a poll on twitter and posted the results in the article; 61% of those who voted went with the Panthers' group.

D-line only?


I think Robert Quinn, Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers, Dominique Easley, Quintin Coples, William Hayes may something to say about this..


With any offense and a lead, these boys are gonna hurt some people.

I don't think this is asking what team has the best NFL DL, only who's better out of the two teams, at least that's how I took it.

Just counting the true beasts...Philly has one with some good players around him...CAR has two with some good players around them.

Took Carolina, but will be interesting to see how well the Eagles will do now that they have players playing in their natural spots.

It's Carolina, we still need to see this Eagles line actually play in pads in a 4-3 before buying the hype. Potential is surely there, but let's actually see it please.
