Defensive tackle
| 2017 | 2020 |
| Marcell Dareus | Ed Oliver |
| Kyle Williams | Star Lotulelei |
| Adolphus Washington | Harrison Phillips |
| Deandre Coleman | Vernon Butler |
| Jerel Worthy | Vincent Taylor |
| Nigel Williams |
Advantage: 2020
Even if you’re not a Marcell Dareus fan, you have to admit there was talent at the top of Buffalo’s defensive tackle position in 2017. But the depth on the current team once again is much better. Harrison Phillips was potentially having a breakout year before injury in 2019, and Vernon Butler had exactly that with the Panthers. Jerel Worthy had a few moments, but nothing in their ballparks. Ed Oliver is also primed for a breakout year after a promising rookie campaign.
