Suh had maybe his best season since his monster rookie year in 2010. The 28-year-old is a game-changer in the middle of the defensive line and any on-field transgressions are far outweighed by on-field impact.

Suh's partner in the middle of the Lions' line, Fairley is one-year younger and a potential consolation prize for any team that misses on his Lions' teammate the past four years. Fairley missed half the year last year, which accounts for his poor production, and weight issues have been a concern in the past.

Like most defensive tackles, Williams' numbers won't wow anybody, but he's been a big piece of a very good Cardinals' defence the past five seasons.

The Cowboys' defence was supposed to be terrible last season, Melton was part of the reason they weren't. The 28-year-old bounced back from a injury-shortened 2013 to post five sacks, only two off his career high.

Odrick's numbers dipped a little heading into free agency, but the 27-year-old has been known to put up a half-dozen sacks with the Dolphins in years past.
