Tony Pauline from Sports Illustrated and DraftInsider.net offers comprehensive position-by-position rankings of the draft prospects for PhiladelphiaEagles.com's draft coverage.
Here is my list of the top 12 defensive ends as well as a link to my extensive list of all the defensive ends I expect to be drafted. With the addition of LB Ernie Sims, the schedule has been tweaked a little bit. I'll unveil my rankings for the defensive tackle position first thing Tuesday morning.
