Position Breakdown: Defensive End

1.  Jadeveon Clowney (JR) 6'5 266 South Carolina
Analysis: One in 10 year talent. Elite athlete for size. A force to the QB. Fits in any scheme. Only questions are whether he'll give it his all. Takes plays off. Immaturity off the field.
Projection:  #1 Overall

2.  Dee Ford (JR) 6'2 252 Auburn
Analysis:  Explosive off the edge.  Non stop motor. Has experience standing up and playing in coverage. Played best vs top teams. Size may force him to play in 3-4 only. Struggles vs run.
Projection:  1st Round

3.  Kony Ealy (JR) 6'4 273 Missouri
Analysis:  Do it all defensive end. Good speed and quickness for size. Can play both DE spots and move inside to DT in passing situations. 4-3 fit only. Doesn't do well in space.
Projection:  Top 50

4.  Scott Crichton (JR) 6'3 273 Oregon State
Analysis: Elite explosion off the ball. Motor runs hot. Faster on tape than timed. Can translate speed to power. Able to operate in space. Struggles vs run.
Projection:  Day 2

5. Jeremiah Attaochu (SR) 6'3 252 Georgia Tech
Projection: Top 50

6. Demarcus Lawrence (JR) 6'3 251 Boise State
Projection:  2nd Round

7. Kareem Martin (SR) 6'6 252 North Carolina
Projection: 2nd Round

8. Trent Murphy (SR) 6'5 250 Stanford
Projection: Day 2

9. Jackson Jeffcoat (SR) 6'3 247 Texas
Projection: 4th or 5th Round

10. Cassius Marsh (SR) 6'4 252 UCLA
