#4 Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars are tied with San Francisco with 30 sacks and while are not looked at in that way anymore, this is still one of the most ferocious front fours in the league. Two years ago we all called them Sacksonville and a lot of analysts said they were the best defense in the league.
What most people don’t seem to understand is that they are still mostly the same group. Of course, they just traded away one of the two best corners in the league in Jalen Ramsey, so the entire unit won’t be quite the same, but the talent on that defensive line might be even better. Calais Campbell is still a force to be reckoned with, Jannick Ngakoue has developed into one of the top young guys coming off the edge and Dawuane Smoot even has four sacks off the bench.

Josh Allen has been remarkable as a rookie, giving them the ability to kick Calais back inside and having two speedsters off either side, like they did when rotating Dante Fowler in. The guy they really need to take another step is Taven Bryan who they drafted last year to replace Malik Jackson eventually, but he is more of a flash-player with tremendous potential at this point.
