Ram tough

Looking at mock drafts and ADP Ranks around the internet, the Seattle Seahawks generally show up as the top defense. But there's little consensus on the 2nd-ranked defense, with San Francisco and Carolina among the favorites.

We like the Rams, and it's mostly due to their pass rush. A year ago they ranked 3rd with 53 sacks, and in 2012 they tied for 1st (52). That two-year total of 105 is 6 more than any other team the last two seasons.

Sacks from the 2012-2013 seasons are presented below.
