26. Carolina Panthers
The defensive front has always been the driving force for success in Carolina and there’s no reason to think that will change under Ron Rivera. Having lost Star Lotulelei to free agency, the team might want to think about getting reinforcements to help out Kawann Short in the middle. Christian Wilkins never gets a lot of the credit for the success Clemson’s defensive line has, but he always seems to be the guy doing the dirty work. He clogs up running lanes, making it difficult to find space on the ground and he’s shown enough of a knack in the pass rush to be a constant factor.
