Along with wide receiver, defensive end may be the strongest position in the draft. The two stars at the top, Clemson’s Gaines Adams and Arkansas’ Jamaal Anderson, should be top ten selections and will make instant impacts as rookies. Adams, who has drawn comparisons to Simeon Rice and Javon Kearse, could go top five and is a natural pass rusher. Adam Carriker from Nebraska should be mid first round selection and has the versatility to also play defensive tackle. Florida’s Javon Kearse and Purdue’s Anthony Spencer are both pass rushing specialists who could find themselves in the first round. The position also features great depth, 10 defensive ends could be selected in the top 50 picks.
