Ranking defensive ends is really your own preference. I think Dwight Freeney is the best in the league because his ability to rush the passer better than anybody. Not that great against the run be will be in the top in sacks yearly. His spin move in unstoppable and his speed is his weapon.
2. Mario Williams
Beast. Great against the run, great the pass. Most athletic player in the NFL. Must stay healthy but is slow becoming unblockable
3. Julius Peppers
Same as Mario Williams. Beast and all around athlete. People say age but he dominated last year with Bears and almost ended Brett Farve career the year before with the Panthers. Capable of 15 sacks and 20 TFL a year.
4. Jared Allen
5. Richard Seymour
Most unappreciated player in the NFL. If you understand defensive line then you know why. The best defensive end against the run. The Patriots are still hurting to replace his services. He able to play End and Tackle.
6. Justin Tuck
7. Justin Smith
8. Trent Cole
9. Robert Mathis
A great pass rusher but the question is would he have the same success if he didnt have Freeney on the other side. I think so.
10. Elvis Dumervil
One of the great pass rushers before he got hurt last season. Broncos moved to a 3-4 and made him the rush linebacker but moving back to a 4-3 will show his ability again.
