1. Defensive Tackle

Fletcher Cox, Javon Hargrave, Malik Jackson, Bruce Hector, Albert Huggins, Hassan Ridgeway, Anthony Rush

Analysis: As was the case heading into the 2019 season, Cox is still the best defensive tackle in the NFL behind Aaron Donald. Last season Malik Jackson was supposed to be the best defensive tackle he’s ever played with, but it never materialized. Cox will get another shot with Jackson and the game-wrecker known as Javon Hargrave. If Hassan Ridgeway can take the next step, this will be one of the top units in all of football.
