10. Chargers. The Chargers should be very solid on both sides of the ball in 2010. They are going undrafted in some leagues, so at this point you can certainly take Dallas, Miami or Chicago and expect similar results.
9. Bengals. With the Panthers, Bucs, and Bills on the schedule, and two games against the Browns (including Week 15), Marvin Lewis' D is one to draft this year.
8. Steelers. Pittsburgh always brings it on the defensive side of the football. Offensive instability at the outset puts them at 8th, but Big Ben's return should signal the Steelers' return to the ranks of the defensive elite.
7. Saints. The Saints' combination of great offense and good defense make them a solid selection. They will get into more shootouts than the Ravens and Packers, but this is a defense that will score points.
6. Packers. The Packers' offense is better than their D, but not by much. Green Bay is gearing up for a SuperBowl year. Get on board.
5. Ravens. The Ravens' blooming offense may be the best reason to draft a defense with a strong track record over the past decade. Baltimore will be up in games, which will result in sacks and picks. They should be fine in Ed Reed's absence and dominant when he gets back.
4. Jets. Revis and Cromartie can shut down any wideout duo in the league. If the Jets can stop the run, they'll earn this spot.
3. Vikings. With a better offense than the Jets, the Vikings get the edge, as they should find themselves up in games and able to tee off on opposing quarterbacks.
2. Eagles. Philly is fast on both sides of the ball. Their defense will produce some low-scoring games and big plays in 2010.
1. 49ers. The best defensive team in the worst division in football. And they have Patrick Willis.
