"Putting aside the Crosby trade rumors for now, here's a list of expected free agent edge rushers: Trey Hendrickson, Odafe Oweh, Jaelan Phillips, Khalil Mack, K'Lavon Chaisson, Boye Mafe, Joey Bosa and Jadeveon Clowney. The main thing that impresses me is the variety. Oweh, Chaisson and Mafe are speed artists who can create pressure fast. Guys like Mack, Clowney and Kingsley Enagbare (Packers) are all hitters in the running game."
"Hendrickson, Oweh and Phillips can all reasonably be projected for 10-plus sacks next season, while Mafe, Chaisson, Mack and Bosa can all be eight-sack players. And that's without any surprises from more middle-tier veterans like Dre'Mont Jones and Al-Quadin Muhammad. All three of those prospects are top-10 pick candidates. We haven't even gotten to the bulk of the first round, where options abound."
Edge rusher is the strongest position this offseason, offering many free-agent and draft options across play styles and experience levels. The group includes speed rushers, run-setting hitters, veteran reclamation candidates, and prospects with undeveloped traits. Several players project for double-digit or near double-digit sack seasons, while additional middle-tier veterans could provide help. Multiple edge prospects are positioned as potential top-10 picks, expanding first-round choices. The interior offensive line favors guards with more depth, whereas long-term true centers are harder to find. Overall the offseason supplies viable paths to upgrade pass rush and interior line play.
