Defensive Tackle

  1. Fletcher Cox
  2. Bennie Logan

This isn’t even a contest. The Eagles may have one of the league’s best tandems at defensive tackle and it may not even be all that close.

Fletcher Cox is one of the most disruptive defensive players in the NFL. With a shiny new six-year, $103 million contract, it’s pretty much a given that he will be the cornerstone of the Eagles’ front seven.

Lining up next to Cox will be Bennie Logan, who is looking for a contract extension of his own. According to Pro Football Focus, Logan ranked second in the entire league last season in run-stop percentage. Pairing Logan’s dominance against the run with Cox’s all around exceptional play, the Eagles’ starting defensive tackles complement one another very well and could be the staple of the Philadelphia defense for years to come.
