Ranking 2020 NFC North Rooms: Interior Defensive Line
1. Chicago Bears
Akiem Hicks, Bilal Nichols, Roy Robertson-Harris, Brent Urban, John Jenkins
As noted in the Pakcers section, Akiem Hicks carries the Packers to number one. This is not a homer pick either. We have highlighted that there is reason to believe that Akiem Hicks has peaked in his career.
However, the downside of a career does not always mean a cliff. Until Hicks falls off a cliff, you have to expect quality play, albeit not All-Pro caliber.
Still, as noted, the Bears will have better depth than any team in the division even without Eddie Goldman. That says a lot about the depth.
Nichols and RRH were ahead of Nick Williams on the depth chart and would be a third lineman, if not a number two on every roster in the NFC North.

Urban showed well in the run and was on the same level as a player such as Williams. Jenkins will battle Ameer Abdullah, but both are on a similar tier to Montravious Adams. Overall, the Packers are watching Clark ascend, but the Bears have the best interior defensive line, even without one of their best options.
