Same as for the offense, the list is based on incomplete information as far all the prospects who tested and the publicly available data.
This ranking like every year for me is heavily based on frame and athleticism, and players are sorted by draft day one, two or three, or sometimes per round. in other words they are sorted as I see their draft value.
I am listing only the players I would be interested in drafting. If a player is not listed, it means I am not interested in drafting him.
Finally, if multiple players are listed in the same round or on same day, that means it's your choice. Pick whoever you like most.
43 DEFENSIVE TACKLES (DLs who take on double teams)
Day 1/2:
KEANU BENTON, WIS: I think he lacks a bit of speed and explosiveness for a clear first round pick. But, I think he could go in the first round, that's fine.
Day 2/3:
CAMERON YOUNG, MISS ST
KEONDRE COBURN, TEX: Better suited for nose tackle in 34.
JERROD CLARK, COAST CAR: Better suited for nose tackle in 34.
34 DEFENSIVE ENDS (DLs facing one on ones)
