Lawson when healthy is a terror on the edge and Hubbard was great for a rookie last season. Willis needs to come on that is for sure but i think we have a very good End rotation and Geno is not just good, he is a top 5 DT easily. Billings got better last year and Glasgow has been really good since he came in the league.

As of right now, you are 100% dependent on the health of Lawson to be a top 10 unit. Hubbard is a solid piece, but without Lawson healthy this unit is not top 10. So my statement, as of this moment, is correct because you have to guarantee (at least) one of Lawson's health (although that only covers the pass rush side, not run stopping) and/or Hubbard/Willis taking the next step. Also, who takes over at nickel DT? That's unknown right now and whether the person(s) who take this role is actually good at it.
