Awuize - was the highest graded CB in the AFC and 3rd overall

Hilton - graded as a top  5 slot Cb

Hubbard - great against the run and can give you 7 sacks / intangibles

Logan Wilson - stud last year  , hardly talked about by mainstream media

Pratt - played very good

Reader - not talked about enough about how good he is , get he’s a NT not a sexy position

Yep!

I wouldn't trade Awuzie for anyone except maybe Ward.  He's an absolute stud in all phases.  Ditto Hilton as a slot CB.  They probably also don't know Bates, despite a 90 plus playoff PFF score.

I believe the offense took the biggest strides in the off-season, but I believe the way the defense "gelled" down the stretch, and the addition of guy like Ossai, Hill/Anderson, and further development of guys like Bailey, ADG, and Khalid Kareem will make this one tough unit.

There is a lot to be said for a defense that gets to play with a lead as well.
