| Defensive Ends |
| 1. Jared Allen, Vikings | Clovdyx's Rankings | ||||||||
 |
|
1. Richard Seymour, Patriots Comment: Call it bias. Call it the fact the man is, when healthy, absolutely unblockable. Playing in a 3-4 scheme, he's not expected to put up gaudy stats every year. Even still, he managed 8 sacks last year in what proved a lesser year for New England's pass rush. |  | ||||||
| 2. Julius Peppers, Panthers | |||||||||
 |
|
2. Julius Peppers, Panthers Comment: As said before, he's a freak of nature. His speed, size, and strength make him a mismatch for just about everybody. |  |
||||||
| 3. Dwight Freeney, Colts | |||||||||
 |
|
3. Mario Williams, Texans Comment: Drafted No. 1 overall in 2006, many considered Williams a draft bust, after he only produced four sacks in his rookie year. However, he has a total of 26 sacks in the past two seasons. I expect big things from this guy, especially after the Texans signed somebody to play the other side of the line. |  |

| 4. Mario Williams, Texans | |||||||||
 |
|
4. Jared Allen, Vikings Comment: The guy was very productive in Kansas City, despite playing on a weaker defense. He put up 14.5 sacks in his first year in Minnesota, and he was a great addition to Kevin and Pat Williams. He's made the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2008, and I figure he'll probably make it again this year. |  |
||||||
| 5. Justin Tuck, Giants | |||||||||
 |
|
5. Jason Taylor, Dolphins Comment: He's getting a bit older, or he'd be higher. As a Patriots fan, I've seen this guy wreck havoc on my favorite quarterback for years. He's made the Pro Bowl six times, and he's a former Defensive Player of the Year. Also an excellent dancer. |  |
||||||
| 6. John Abraham, Falcons | |||||||||
 |
|
6. Dwight Freeney, Colts Comment: I've never been a big fan of this guy, but it's hard to argue with his production - he's reached double digit sacks in five out of seven seasons. |  |
||||||
| 7. Trent Cole, Eagles | |||||||||
 |
|
7. Osi Umenyiora, Giants Comment: Why is he only seventh? Well, he's played his entire career with Michael Strahan, so he didn't have to deal with a ton of double teams. I also don't know how he'll come back from his injury. In 2007, he managed 13 sacks, but six of them came in one game. That means in fifteen other games, he only got to the quarterback seven times. |  |
||||||
| 8. Richard Seymour, Patriots | |||||||||
 |
|
8. Trent Cole, Eagles Comment: After four seasons, he's ranked fifteenth in Eagles history for sacks, with 32.5, despite only starting seven games as a rookie. He's also good against the run, putting up nearly eighty in each of the past two seasons. |  |
||||||
| 9. Patrick Kerney, Seahawks | |||||||||
 |
|
9. Aaron Schobel, Bills Comment: He was injured in 2008 and only posted one sack. He only managed six in 2007. However, he was averaging over ten the previous four years. He hasn't had a lot of help on the Bills defense lately, but he has the potential to have a good 2009 season. |  |
||||||
| 10. Ty Warren, Patriots | |||||||||
 |
|
10. Kyle Vanden Bosch, Titans Comment: He wasn't very productive in Arizona, but in four years with the Titans, he's been voted to the Pro Bowl twice. He only played ten games last year, but he had a good 2009. Haynesworth signing in Washington might him a little, by allowing teams to focus on him, but he should still do pretty well. |  |
