25. Carolina Panthers

player. 87. . DE. Boston College. Zach Allen . 25

The Carolina Panthers defense has been exposed a bit over the past couple of weeks. It’s becoming apparent their edge rushers just don’t have the juice they used to. Not surprising since both Julius Peppers and Mario Addison are over 30-years old. They’ve needed some young blood at that position for some time. Zach Allen might be one of the most underrated in this class. He’s not body beautiful by any stretch but the big defensive end certainly has power to go along with quickness and violent hands. He gets into the backfield with regularity and doesn’t shy away from contact. He’s somebody who can carry the torch forward.
