Uhhh Khalil Mack?? Last time I checked he mostly lines up as end. 

Lining up as the fourth man on the "edge" of a 3-man front is different than a "hand in the dirt" defensive-end in a 4-man front.    I think that's the reason for the distinction of "4-3" in the title. Otherwise, yes, Khalil Mack would be at the top of the list.

I thought the Bears ran a 4-3?

Did some digging and they did run a 3-4 base but were in 4-2-5 (Nickel) nearly 85% of their snaps. 

I don't that figure is correct. Even if it is, Mack isn't always a base end. They moved him around.

Assuming Mack IS...

1. Mack

2. Campbell (but I didn't see much of him last season, could have regressed)

3. Cameron Jordan

4. Joey Bosa

5. Everson Griffen

6. Frank Clark

7. Melvin Ingram

8. Brandon Graham

9. Demarcus Lawrence

10. Bennett/Flowers (will let you know soon...)

 

That's hard, actually. I'd be happy with ANY of them. Jones should probably be in there, D-Law higher perhaps. I 'unno!
