| Julius Peppers
| North Carolina |
| | Peppers is the whole package. He can stop the run, rush the passer
and is quick. Look for him to be take by the Panthers with the second pick in the draft. He will bring an
pass rushing threat to a terrible defensive line. |
|
|
| 9 sacks |
| 2
| Charles Grant
| Georgia |
| | Grant is moving up draft boards fast and could be the
second defensive end taken in the draft. He is very quick, but needs to work on his
technique a little. | |
|
| 6 sacks |
| 3
| Kalimba Edwards
| South Carolina |
| | Edwards could move ahead of Brown as the second best
end in the draft depending on pre-draft workouts. | |
|
| 2 sacks |
| 4
| Dwight Freeney
| Syracuse |
| | Freeney impressed everyone with a breakout season
last year. He will be a serious pass rushing threat in the NFL very soon. | |
|
| 18 sacks |
| 5
| Dennis Johnson
| Kentucky |
| | He is a very solid pass rusher, but could have used
to stay in school for his senior year to improve his technique. | |
|
| 11 sacks |
| 6
| Bryan Thomas
| Alabama - Birmingham |
| | He is very athletic, but needs to work on his
technique. | |
|
| 14 sacks |
| 7

| Florida |
| | Brown was great at Florida and should be a solid
pass rusher in the NFL for years to come. |
|
|
| 9 sacks |
| 8
| Kenyon Coleman
| UCLA |
| | Coleman has decent speed and good athletic ability to
beat a tackle around the outside. |
|
|
| 9 sacks |
| 9
| Will Overstreet
| Tennessee |
| | He is a little small (255 lbs), but he has a nose
for the ball. He is a playmaker who should be able to make one big play a game in the NFL. |
|
|
| 5 sacks |
| 10
| Greg White
| Minnesota |
| | Don't expect him to do much against the run, but White
is a solid pass rusher. | |
|
| 5 sacks |
| 11
| Carlos Hall
| Arkansas |
| |
He moved over from linebacker and will need to add size (255 lbs) to be a steady force at
defensive end. |
|
|
| 2 sacks |
| 12
| Gregory Scott
| Hampton |
| |
Scott didn't face much competition, but is a decent pass rusher. | |
|
| 2 sacks |
| 13
| Ryan Denney
| Brigham Young |
| |
Denney is fast, but at 25 is a little old to be a high draft choice. He doesn't have much
room to improve. |
|
|
| 7 sacks |
| 14

| Louisville |
| |
Josiah is a little underrated and could move up the draft board with a good workout at the
scouting combine. |

| North Carolina |
| | Sims has good range and quick feet. |
|
|
| 5 sacks |

| Wisconsin |
| | Bryant has good technique and is quick off
the ball. | |
|
| 8 sack |
| 4
| John Henderson

after big play in college and there is no reason to think he can't do it in the NFL.
| |
|
| 4 sacks |

| Anthony Weaver
| Notre Dame |
| | Weaver is quick, but is not always great at
shedding blockers. | |
|

around a little too easily. | |
|
| 3 sacks |

|
|

| |
|
| 4 sacks |

off the ball. |
