There are three teams that can get if they stay healthy--Seattle, Arizona, Minnesota. I really don't see an AFC defense that compares to these three, right now. Denver lost too much. The AFC North isn't what it used to be, defensively. You never know what Bill Belichick will cook up in New England, but I don't believe he has the pieces for a #1 defense, especially after trading Jones. NYJ has a chance with their DL and secondary but they have some question marks.
SKOL Vikings!! They were near the top of the league when healthy last season and added more pieces this offseason. I'd love to see Trae Waynes mature into the nickel spot and Emmanuel Lamur is an upgrade at the WLB position.
