| DT | 1 | Ndamukong Suh | Nebraska | 6-3 | 307 | 5.02 |
| Notes: [Andy Hart] Athlete who closes in both run and pass, but sometimes doesn't finish. Powerful and quick. Great motor. Has a litle nasty to him.

| DT | Terrence Cody | Alabama | 6-4 | 349 | 5.71 | |
| Notes: [Andy Hart] NT. Two-down player. Fat. Can hold and beat double teams. Pops up at snap at times and plays too high. [Erik Scalavino] Just a big, slow blob with no moves. | ||||||
| DT | Lamarr Houston | Texas | 6-3 | 305 | 4.84 | |

| Notes: [Andy Hart] Injuries. Undersized nose tackle? Made a lot of plays. Two-gap?. [Erik Scalavino] Reminds me of Jarvis Green; seems solid; nothing spectacular, but could develop in time. | ||||||
| DT | Torell Troup | Central Florida | 6-3 | 314 | 5.12 | |
| Notes: [Andy Hart] NT, 3 year starter and captain. Dropped 30 lbs as senior. Reads plays well. Plays high vs. double teams. Versatile potential. [Erik Scalavino] . Best suited as a 3-4 nose, perhaps; not a large arsenal of moves; could be a project. | ||||||

| Notes: [Andy Hart] Once a highly touted prospect. Big, athletic man who eats up blockers and can make plays. Little high at times. Production doesn't equal potential Good versatility.. [Erik Scalavino] Moves well side-to-side and can get into the backfield; great potential as a 3-4 end; would be a developmental player, but definitely worth taking in mid to late rounds. | ||||||

| Notes: [Andy Hart] Good athlete. 38 starts. Lean build. OK quickness. 4-3 guy. [Erik Scalavino] . Speedy, relentless player; athletic, probably better suited as a 4-3 end or 3-4 OLB.. | ||||||

| Notes: [Andy Hart] Inconsistent. Quick, fast and strong. Undersized and explosive. 4-3 guy. Makes a lot of plays when at his best. [Erik Scalavino] . Pretty quick shooting through the gaps; could have some versatility along the line as well, though he'd need to add weight. | ||||||
