7. How will the defensive line take shape?

We already know that Jeffery Simmons is slated to take the role that Casey left behind when he was traded to the Broncos earlier this offseason, and that DaQuan Jones is the second starter upfront.
However, there’s still a question as to who will play alongside those two.
For now, the top candidates seem to be 2019 UDFA Isaiah Mack, veteran free-agent signing Jack Crawford, and 2020 fifth-round pick, Larrell Murchison.
There will no doubt be a competition in camp for snaps, but this is a role that could be split up between two or three of players. The edge will likely go to whoever can display the best pass-rush skills, as getting pressure from the D-line was a major problem last season.
