Defensive Line (7)

Derek Wolfe (DE), Domata Peko (NT), Zach Kerr (DE), Demarcus Walker, Jared Crick, Adam Gotsis, Tyrique Jarrett

With Kyle Peko sidelined with an injury, I think that will force him to lose enough ground to be omitted from the 53 man roster. I can still see him making the practice squad.

The three men to line up as the first defense should come as no surprise. Derek Wolfe is one of the best defensive line rushers and does well stopping the run.

Zach Kerr and Domata Peko should make an immediate impact on the defensive line. Their size and strength will help with a run defense that struggled a lot last season.

Look for Adam Gotsis and Jared Crick to help spell the other defensive ends and make their marks in 2017. Demarcus Walker will be a great player for the team once he has some game action.
