Grades on the top four pass rushers from 2013 draft (1 Viewer)

[Bracie Smathers]

In last year's 2013 draft, four pass rushers were selected in the top-17 picks, three taken in the top-6 picks. Pro Football Focus does an in-depth break-down on, Dion Jordan, Eziel Anzah, Barkeviuos Mingo, and Jarvis Jones.

Here are the links to each.

Too much to cut-and-paste so here are the highlights.

Go to the link for the full read that also includes vid/gif examples of each player.

Surprisingly none of them got positive grades as pass rushers according to PFF even though Ezekil Ansah posted a solid 9 sacks as a rookie but he got most of his work as a defensive linemen, over 95% of his snaps, most at DE but a handful at DT.

First really good in-depth breakdown of a group at one area from last year's draft class that I've seen so its interesting.
