3. Minnesota Vikings

Danielle Hunter, Ifedi Odeingbo, Eddie Yarborough, Anthony Zettel

As good as Flowers has been, he has nothing on Danielle Hunter, who has 54.5 sacks in 5 NFL seasons. He is averaging over 10 sacks a year, and at age 26, he is just now going to hit his physical peak. Hunter is going to be right there with Khalil Mack as the best in the NFL.

However, the Vikings fall to three due to depth. Odenigbo has been solid in his rotational play. However, with Everson Griffen now gone, he has huge shoes to fill, and while he looks like a solid player, the question is whether he can step in and put up similar stats as Griffen.

In players such as Yarborough and Zettel, they have good rotational depth. They certainly filled out their room with more promise than the Detroit Lions. Considering Hunter has been better than Flowers, the gap from four to three is huge. However, the gap from three to two is pretty big as well with a combination of names opposite Hunter.
