The Defensive Line

Who’s In: Allen Bailey, Bennie Logan, Chris Jones, Tanoh Kpassagnon, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, Jarvis Jenkins

Who’s Out: T.J. Barnes, Montori Hughes, Cory Johnson, David King

This is another position where I feel really confident in everything but the final spot. I see Bailey, Logan, Jones, Kpassagnon, and Nunez Roches as locks to make it if healthy. I ended up going with Jarvis Jenkins for the final spot because he got some playing time last season and has enough size that he can play the nose tackle spot if need be. That having been said, if one of the other guys has a strong enough camp and preseason then that’s a spot that is definitely up for grabs. I’d also be in favor of them re-signing Kendall Reyes who I thought played pretty well for them last season.

Next up, the linebackers.
