Here is a position-by-position breakdown of the NFL draft prospects on defense, including predictions for most overrated and underrated and who'll make the best pro.
Defensive Ends
The class is ... potentially terrific. If Chris Ellis really is the 10th best end to come out of this class, the position will be the draft's strength. Two huge, make-or-break calls are out there in Calais Campbell and Tommy Blake, but there are enough sure-things in Phillip Merling and Derrick Harvey to balance things out. Chris Long is a prospect to build an entire defense around.
Most overrated prospect: Lawrence Jackson, USC. While he has the size and skills, he was too inconsistent despite playing on a loaded line.
Most underrated prospect: Ken Iwebema, Iowa. When he was on, there were few better in the Big Ten over the last few years. However, he was a bit of a disappointment after getting hurt as a junior, but if it all comes together and he regains his form, he could be one of the steals of the second day as a devastating situational pass rusher.
