Want a pass rusher with durability, experience and production? Then check out NFL.com's 11-20th ranked free agents and don't forget to bring your check book. This subset of to-be free agents features several pass rushers who've produced in a variety of schemes, plus there's a talented pass catcher in the mix, as well.

Note: The rankings by NFL.com are subject to change because teams may release players in the coming days, causing them to hit the market.

11. LB Jason Worilds 12. DE/OLB Pernell McPheeNot a household name after his rookie contract, McPhee has the tools to be so during his next contract. He has the versatility to rush off the edge or slide inside to play DT. Will he be the latest Ravens defender who disappoints when he leaves Baltimore? Or is he the real deal?
13. WR Jeremy MaclinWith Randall Cobb re-signing in Green Bay, Maclin's leverage and price tag have increased. The Vikings are tied to WRs in mock drafts, but maybe they address the position in a big way during free agency with Maclin or even Torrey Smith (he's ranked No. 10 on this list).
14. DT Nick Fairley 15. OT Bryan Bulaga 16. DT Jared OdrickYes, the Vikings return both starting DTs in 2015 and Odrick is certainly looking for a starting role. But his versatility would allow him to play left DE and DT with the Vikings, giving him an opportunity to play maximum snaps even if he's not on the field to open the game.

17. DT Terrance Knighton 18. C Rodney Hudson 19. DE/OLB Brandon GrahamA situational pass rusher with solid production(14.0 sacks the past three seasons) in a couple different defenses in Philadelphia, Graham may be best-suited in a 4-3 front and his production could skyrocket if given starter reps. 20. DE Derrick MorganStarting DEs with Morgan's production (19.0 sacks the past three seasons) and durability (two missed games the past four seasons) don't often hit the market and it's easy to make a case he's rated too low on this list at No. 20.
