    I'm not a fan of Ellis and Coleman at DE anymore. They're decent, even good, but I want size and athleticism at the position. IMO DL as a whole (not just NT) is a big issue.

    1. Chris Long - Long is my #1 right now. I do it by default though. I'm still one of the crowd that thinks he's best as a 4-3 end as a pro, comparable to Aaron Kampman.

    2. Dre Moore - My favorite 3-4 DE prospect in the draft. 6-4 305 athletic freak with 2 gap ability that can still get in the backfield. He'll blow up come combine.

    3. Kentwan Balmer - IMO the best bet to be a solid 3-4 end. He's similar to Igor Olshanksy in that he's big, strong as hell, and great at anchoring 2 blockers.

    4. Jason Shirley - Could play any spot on the DL. I don't think he's one of those "Mangini guys" but he's definitely one of the biggest and nastiest DL prospect in this draft.

    5. Keilen Dykes - Athlete, big DE from WVU with 2 gap ability. Brings a nice amount of athleticism.

    Runner ups:

    Chris Norwell - Another big two gap player. He's a solid prospect with good production his whole career. He's another guy who'll do well with a decent combine.

    Barry Booker - Big VT D-lineman. Solid player.

    Nick Hayden - High motor big guy with decent production. I like him actually.
