Comments: This position isn't as deep as guard or tackle, but there is help to be found here for teams loking for it. It starts, of course, with The Freak, who is easily the star of this bunch. He will be a high profile free agent in this class. Ellis, Pleasant and Hamilton make for a tio of good consolation prizes for those teams that either miss out or are simply too poor to take a shot at Kearse. The talent level declines steadily after that, allowing for a solid group of ends, if not spectacular or very deep.

Comments: Defensive tackle has a little more depth at the top and is also just about deeper in sheer numbers than at the end position. Here, there is not one but two top tackles. Sapp is the high profile guy, like Kearse at end. But if his tastes (or his attitude) is a little too much for teams, Stubblefield is a guy who does nearly as good a job withhalf the fuss. There's a small drop after those two, but the next tier is a large group of very solid tackles. After this group peters out, it drops sharply to backup status, though.
