2018 Draft Class: Defensive Line By Tim Miller Special to sfl-football.com Analysis of the 2018 Defensive Line class Brought to you in the colors of the New Orleans Saints. Combined a few positions on this one... right defensive end, left defensive end, and defensive tackle. Now in my comparisons, I only compared right defensive ends with right defensive ends and so on. But I gave them each a respective score and compared across the top. A reminder: if you enter a 99th percentile attribute in the Fit the System, it should only come up with 1% of all the defensive linemen in the league who are at that level or higher. First off, right defensive end.

Something new I did here: I added a new category (courtesy of Orlando Brown, Jr in the offensive line) with the designation of DND, Do Not Draft. It may seem a bit harsh, but I applied a bigger penalty to those in order to see what happens. In addition, for this group, I did not look at speed, even though I know that is important to some. I looked at Weight, Strength, Agility, and Acceleration. If they could not tackle... well I assumed they could learn. Again this is what they would look like after a year. Even more interesting... The top three has one left end, one tackle, and one right end. As expected, Bradley Chubb is at the top along with B.J. Hill and Rasheem Green at right end.
