32. Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers have the worst NFL defense in 2024. Trading away edge rusher Brian Burns wiped away the one highly effective outside pass rusher Carolina had and we don’t have much confidence in Jadeveon Clowney and D.J. Wonnum can get the job done. If you can get after the passer, every other part of the unit will struggle. For as much as we love Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and defensive tackle Derrick Brown, there just isn’t much else to believe in here.
31. Washington Commanders
It’s going to take multiple seasons before any real signs of improvement are shown by the Washington Commanders defense. There are well-known players at linebacker, but Bobby Wagner is going to be torched by teams in coverage. Speaking of coverage issues, Washington’s cornerback room is a concern and there’s no real impact talent at edge rusher. It’s a recipe for an ugly first season of Dan Quinn’s defense.

30. Arizona Cardinals
Losing BJ Ojulari early into training camp serves as a major blow for the Arizona Cardinals defense. It takes a bad pass-rushing unit and makes it an even bigger concern, which will only make things worse for this Cardinals’ secondary. We do like Jonathan Gannon’s influence and believe he can get the most out of the players on the Cardinals roster, but there just isn’t much to work with defensively in Arizona right now.

10. Chicago Bears
Matt Eberflus kept his job this offseason in large part because of what the Chicago Bears defense did in the second half of the season. From Weeks 10-18, Chicago’s opponents average just a 70.5 QB rating with an 11-16 TD-INT ratio and 6.5 yards per attempt. The Bears defense also held opponents to 93.9 rushing yards per game with 4 scores in an eight-game stretch. Chicago’s pass rush remains a bit of a concern, in comparison to the best NFL defenses in 2024, but the scheme and talent at lineb...
9. New England Patriots
Trading away Matthew Judon is certainly a blow for the New England Patriots defense, even if it’s the right thing for the franchise long-term. With that said, New England played well defensively last season without Judon. From Weeks 10-18 in 2023, the Patriots defense held opponents to 181.1 passing yards per game with an average 80.7 QB rating. Running against New England – 84.6 rush ypg and 3.1 yards per carry – didn’t go any better for opponents. While the change from Bill Belichick to Jer...
8. Pittsburgh Steelers
When Alex Highsmith, T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward are on the field together, the Pittsburgh Steelers pass rush is a daunting challenge for any opponent. To make matters worse for offensive linemen, rookie Keeanue Benton blossomed as an interior pass rusher in 2023. Now, Pittsburgh has upgraded at linebacker with Patrick Queen and even if he doesn’t play at an All-Pro level, he’s a monumental upgrade over what came before him.

5. Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens spent the majority of the 2023 season atop our NFL defense rankings. However, offseason losses leave some big questions. While Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr has generated some buzz, he’s only 32 years old and it’s a longshot he’s as sharp of a defensive mind as Mike Macdonald.

4. Dallas Cowboys
Dan Quinn was a very good defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, turning around an awful unit that was coordinated by Mike Nolan. However, we also saw plenty of instances where the Cowboys defense would be exposed by great opponents, often in the same areas that Quinn never found a way to stop. Mike Zimmer is arguably an even better defensive coordinator and he brings more to the table strategically. Plus, Dallas is getting back cornerback Trevon Diggs after he suffered an ACL tear in...
3. Kansas City Chiefs
On the one hand, we have real concerns about how the Kansas City Chiefs secondary will perform without L’Jarius Sneed. He wasn’t perfect in coverage and he drew plenty of penalties, but Sneed often delivered when lined up against No. 1 receivers. For as great as Trent McDuffie is, his best role is in the slot.
