Top 5 Defensive Ends:

1. Leonard Williams, USC: I mean the picture says it all, he can keep his balance at 45 degree angles to win the leverage war with offensive linemen. He is the most complete player in the draft and he can play in any defense.

2. Randy Gregory, Nebraska: This is a raw and undisciplined player but he is so athletic it really doesn’t matter. At the right value he is a good pick. He has incredible acceleration off the edge.

3. Nate Orchard, Utah: This is an incredibly productive player from the Pac-12. He had 18.5 sacks in the 2014 season, he is relentless.

4. Markus Golden: The other pass rusher from Missouri is pretty darn good himself. He is explosive off the edge and he has the length to do damage.

5. Preston Smith Mississippi State: This Bull Dogs defensive end has a thick and long frame and incredible power.
