According to Football Outsiders, the D-line took a big step forward last season.

Hopefully, losing Fairly doesn't completely kill the improvement momentum but I'm still optimistic. Rankins and Onyemata both looked good in their rookie seasons. Okafor may not end up being a stud but he should easily be better than Kruger was for us. If those mid round draft picks work out, this could be a solid DLine.
