#10 Overall, Terrell Suggs: Arizona Cardinals, #1 Linebacker
While Suggs’ best days (and days as a Raven) is behind him, he had a good 2018 and isn’t done yet.  Suggs destroys the Sacks MPA but nothing else, but the fact that he is still producing and has a Super Bowl Ring, Defensive Player of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year trophy in his mantle helps his cause.

#13 Overall, Von Miller, Denver Broncos, #2 Linebacker
Already a Super Bowl Champion (and Super Bowl MVP) Miller is on a Hall of Fame pace and could be considered a Hall of Famer right now based on AV/G.  The Linebacker is still in his prime with likely many more seasons to play.
