This will be shocking, given Chase Young's credentials and initial upside. But ever since his rookie season at Washington, he has completely lost his form.

Cameron Jordan is now 35 and will only continue to age and eventually retire, but the depth behind him is solid. Carl Granderson has become a bastion for the team after going undrafted in 2019, while Payton Turner, Isaiah Foskey, and Trajan Jeffcoat look to be a solid rotational core.
