12. New Orleans Saints: Cam Jordan, Marcus Davenport

This is a huge season for Marcus Davenport. The New Orleans Saints had incredibly high hopes for him when they traded up in the 2018 NFL Draft and so far, he has not met their expectations. He hasn’t been terrible, but he just hasn’t been the consistent threat they needed.

Now with Trey Hendrickson gone, he should be back in the starting lineup across from Cameron Jordan. And the good news for New Orleans is, they don’t need him to be elite, just good. If he can do that, they should have more than enough firepower, especially since Jordan is still playing at a high level.

11. Detroit Lions: Trey Flowers, Romeo Okwara

The big money guy is Trey Flowers, but it was Romeo Okwara that made the noise in 2020 for the Detroit Lions. Flowers missed nine games and had just 22 tackles and two sacks. He’s never been a huge sack-meister, but Flowers is one of the best in the game at setting the edge and as long as he gets healthy, the Lions should have a good set of defensive ends.

Especially if Okwara can repeat his success. The veteran had 44 tackles and 10 sacks which were both career-highs for him.
