2. Green Bay Packers: Mo Wilkerson, Kenny Clark, Mike Daniels, Dean Lowry, Montravius Adams, James Looney

The Packers 3-4 front could be as loaded as it ever has been with Mo Wilkerson added into the mix. At the peak of his powers, Mo Wilkerson has 10 sack upside. He has only been able to get to that peak twice in the past seven years. Over the past two seasons, he has just 8 sacks combined. It was a risk of a signing, but if it pays off, he is the perfect piece to complete this line.

Kenny Clark had a bit of a breakout in his second season in 2017. Clark is a nose tackle by profile but showed some upfield penetration and was able to put up 4.5 sacks. As he is set to enter year three, his prospects are much higher than that of A’Shawn Robinson. On top of that is Mike Daniels who has put up 25 sacks over the past five seasons.

Dean Lowry is a serviceable fourth defensive lineman to throw into the rotation as well. He has four sacks over the past two seasons. Montravius Adams has backup nose tackle potential and James Looney is just a back-end depth piece but overall this group has potential at the bottom, and in the middle.
