1. Packers

David Bakhtiari, Bryan Bulaga, Jason Spriggs

It is saying something to beat out the Lions as a unit. However, the Packers are locked into their two tackles, they have been longtime performers and they have depth and flexibility at the position.

Bakhtiari is one of the better linemen in all of the football. He is 25, has missed two games in his career, and is locked in through the 2020 season. The upside to the situation in extremely high here. Bulaga has been with the team since 2010 and has been a reliable starter his entire career. The combination of the two could very easily be called the best in the NFL at this point, and there is still room to grow.

Then, there is Spriggs, who has drafted in the second round last season. Spriggs can play guard as well and started two games there, and the Packers obviously saw the value in the depth and versatility that he can bring to the unit. This division goes from the Bears and Vikings who are in the bottom ten to the Lions and Packer in the top ten, and potentially the top of the chart in Green Bay.
