Defensive lineman Ryan Pickett is overshadowed somewhat by his line mates, but he's a solid defender nonetheless. He's a versatile player who can play anywhere on the line, including the nose. He's also capable of tying up blockers, and he's very good against the run. During the 2010 season, Pickett recorded 32 tackles and a sack. He added nine tackles during the postseason.
