For the sixth year running, we’ll be here discussing and analyzing every significant defensive draft pick as they come off the board. I’ll be posting each pick to this thread in blog form then editing in some specific thoughts (general and IDP) about each player’s impact on his new team in real time. We’ll also be adding coaching comments and video clips when they become available throughout the weekend and after the draft to keep everyone as up-to-date as possible about when, where and how a team sees its new addition fitting into their defensive scheme.
Unless there's a 23rd hour solution that allows a manic free agent period before the draft, we could see lots of interesting surprises. Teams with multiple free agents at one position might add yet another talented body to hedge themselves against finding themselves stuck after free agency. Or we might get some idea of which teams will have to pursue their own free agents more seriously than expected after losing out on a position in the draft.

This year, I thought I'd put my usual pre-draft brief scouting thoughts and NFL comparisons as separate posts in this thread. I'll also add my thoughts on which teams have prime openings for high value IDP targets later this month.Defensive End Preview
Tweener Preview
Defensive Tackle Preview
Linebacker Preview

If you’re new to these threads, here are our previous threads to revisit and enjoy. It’s always one of my favorite threads of the year.
