Sam Montgomery - DE - LSU

Height: 6'4 | Weight: 245 | Born: May 25, 1990 (age 22)

In the next few months, scouts will have to decide if Montgomery is an elite player or a product of a very talented defensive unit at LSU. Montgomery has a relentless motor that will serve him well in the pros.

Ezekiel Ansah - DE - LSU

Height: 6'6 | Weight: 273 | Born: n/a

A native of Ghana, Ansah is a very raw talent with maybe the most potential out of anyone in this class. Run defence is an issue at the moment, but his stock is rising at an incredibly fast rate.

Defensive Tackles

Star Lotulelei - DT - Utah

Height: 6'3 | Weight: 320 | Born: December 20, 1989 (age 23)

Lotulelei isn't a diruptive force on the interior of the defensive line, but he is a massive run stuffer that consistently draws double teams. As an unbelievable athlete, Lotulelei is a top five pick.

Sylvester Williams - DT - North Carolina

Height: 6'2 | Weight: 320 | Born: November 21, 1988 (age 24)

Projected to play the three-technique or five-technique, Williams started to make scouts notice as the season went on. Williams is exceptional against the run and is a hard worker in all areas.

Johnathan Hankins - DT - Ohio State

Height: 6'3 | Weight: 335 | Born: n/a

Hankins has the size to clog up the middle in any defensive front, but has limitations as a pass rusher. While he needs to improve his technique, Hankins will cause problems for any offensive line.

John Jenkins - DT - Georgia

Height: 6'4 | Weight: 363 | Born: July 11, 1989 (age 23)

Jenkins is one of the biggest players in the draft this year and will use his strength and frame to clog up running lanes. Jenkins isn't fast, but he has good agility for a man his size.

Sheldon Richardson - DT - Missouri

Height: 6'3 | Weight: 290 | Born: n/a

Richardson may not be as big as some of the other defensive tackles, but he uses his quickness to get penetration. Richardson may not get the sack, but he often causes problems in opponents' backfields.
