Just 2.5 Sacks shy of Smith who started 16 games. Okwara averaged more sacks per snap than any Edge player in the NFCN. What I find impressive about this is that Patricia didn’t want his edge guys to apply pressure. He wanted them to contain. Flowers isn’t a slouch either. I actually think GB and DET are fairly close in this depth.Personally I think CHI has the best rotation of DE/ Edge guys in the NFCN. Mario Edwards, Hakeem Hicks, Kahil Mack, Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith all move around and take snaps off the edge and all are capable of getting to the QB. With the addition of OLB Attaochu who had 5 sacks in limited usage in DEN that group can apply some serious pressure when they are all healthy.Last season MIN was the worst in the NFCN and to be honest I think they have the least amount of talent here.I’d rank this group as 1. CHI 2. GB 3. DET 4. MIN I’m giving the edge to GB over DET based solely off Smiths consistency over Okwara’s inconsistency. But it wouldn’t shock me if DET makes strides in this depth now that Patricia is gone. They have some promising unproven talent too. It will be interesting to see who’s youth steps up the most this season.</blockquote>
