2. Muhammad Wilkerson

CarAV: 60

After Dareus went third, 27 picks later Muhammad Wilkerson went off the board. However, contrary to popular belief, the player taken later in the first has blossomed into a much more valuable player.

Through six NFL seasons, Wilkerson has four double-digit AV seasons. This is thanks to 217 tackles, 41 sacks and 11 forced fumbles as a hybrid defensive tackle.

It's hard to put a finger on Wilkerson's best season, because, well, he's had two. In 2013 and 2015, his AV peaked at 16, all the while racking up 82 tackles and 22.5 sacks between the two seasons. Unfortunately, Wilkerson has just one Pro Bowl appearance to speak of.
