The Raiders defense finished 8th last year and didn't lose anyone significant but added one of the best tackles to go beside Madd Maxx. They should be talked about more but I get it, they were 8-9 and don't have a flashy qb on the other side to make them more exciting to talk about by most shows

It's this theme that the Ravens were only good because of Mike MacDonald. You would think MacDonald has been the defensive coordinator on the Ravens the last 20 years the way ppl act like they can't overcome that loss. You wouldn't know that they had a top 10 defense 19 of the last 25 years. And that their defense only turned around even with MacDonald after the Roquan Smith trade. Ppl underrating the Ravens defense and Derrick Henry in offense is going to be why so many ppl aren't going to see it coming when they are one of the best teams of all time this year and even better than last year

I found the discussion about the Ravens talent disappointing. I don't think anyone has ever schemed thier way to the top of the league in sacks, takeaways and points allowed. Marlon Humphrey was injured from the start along with Marcus Williams and both starting edges Oweh and Ojabo. Clowney and Stone were backups. The defensive line is vastly underrated. They were able to run any scheme because the defensive tackles were dropping in coverage and stopping the run without numbers. The safety can play edge or nickel or deep half.

Raiders were the #1 scoring defense after AP took over (nine game span) giving up 16ppg. They added one of the best DT in Wilkins. They'll have a full season of Malcom Koonce and Tyree Wilson on the defensive line. There is depth everywhere, especially the defensive line. The only question mark they have is at one corner where there is a battle between Bennett and Facyson to see who will start. If they aren't top five then something is wrong.

Texans have all positions filled, injuries might be the only reason for them to fail. They rebuilt the D-line with All-Pro Danielle Hunter, Probowler Denico Autry who both had double digit sacks last season, and Foley F at DT, and add their #3 overall pick last season and DRotY Will Anderson Jr and now the D-line is built. They already had Christian Harris and Henry To'o To'o at LB, now add in Probowler Azeez Al-Shaair at MLB. Then in the secondary you have CB1 Derek Stingley Jr, S Jalen Pitre, S Jimmie Ward and now add in the draft pick CB2 Kamari Lassiter. They are set with starters. They have back ups for the secondary like Okaduh and Henderson Jr. And let's not even get started on offense.

The biggest quibble for me would be the Cowboys but overall Mina's top 10 looks like the better top 10. Although if the Cowboys stay healthy, some of their young unproven players can provide solid depth, and a 1-tech steps up (Mazi Smith?) they could be a better defense than most expect. But that's a lot of "ifs".
