Of all the posistion groups, I am by far the most optimistic about the future for the defensive line. This is the one posistion I can reasonably say has multiple NFL prospects. This is also a group with some better veteran expereince than others, but also some positive youth. Lovie Smith and his staff are building up great depth here as well.
However, that optimism is looking at the potential of this group going into 2019 and 2020. This year, this group is still young and a posistion depending on players growing and developing. Some players will make the jumps we expect and some may even perform above expectations, but others will struggle a bit.
