1. DL D. J. Reader
Nobody else stood a chance at dethroning D.J. Reader here.
Reader is one of the best young defenders in the NFL outright, hence the 86.7 PFF grade last year. Strong against the run and surprisingly good at putting pressure on passers, Reader has cut weight this offseason in the hopes of being even better.
That, plus joining a pass rush that features Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap and others, could help Reader register as one of the best signings of the entire free-agency period.
