1
</td>
<td>
Albert Haynesworth
</td>
<td>
The best defensive player in the NFL. Dominates the line of scrimmage and makes everyone around him better. There are a couple of possible concerns. Has only played like an elite player in contract seasons. Also has some character issues that could stop some teams from giving him a monster deal.
</td>

</td>
<td>
Rocky Bernard
</td>
<td>
Athletic defensive tackle who can get to the quarterback. Has 19.5 sacks over the last four years.
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="table_row3">

3
</td>
<td>
Dewayne Robertson
</td>
<td>
Everywhere he goes the 3-4 comes to town and drives him away. Robertson is a 1-gap player and not a run-stuffing nose tackle.
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="table_row1">
<td>
4
</td>
<td>
John Thornton
</td>
<td>
Underrated player who just gets the job done. Lacks ideal size and athletic ability, but Thornton has been a quality starter for a decade.
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="table_row3">
<td>
5
</td>
<td>
Jovan Haye
</td>
<td>
Haye had a breakout season in 2007 and looked to be a player on the rise. His tackles fell by more than half. He didn't register a sack. He's still only 26 and has shown the ability to be a playmaker.
