6. Bradley Chubb, Denver Broncos

2017 stats (at NC State): 12 games, 72 total tackles, 10 sacks, 1 forced fumble

Bradley Chubb is the first and only rookie to make an appearance on this list.

The top prospect from the 2018 NFL Draft on the defensive side of the football, Chubb is an absolute terror as a pass rusher and he can win in a variety of ways.

Chubb has speed off the edge and takes a great arc to the quarterback, able to bend around the edge unlike many guys his size.

He’s also got the ability to convert speed to power at a level we’ve only seen from prospects like Jadeveon Clowney and Joey Bosa coming out of college in recent years.

Chubb is a 4-3 defensive end with safety speed and quickness, and he’s going to be a perfect pairing for the Broncos with Von Miller.

Of course, putting him on this list is projecting some, but Chubb is talented enough to warrant this spot.
