This is a fascinating draft class up front on the defensive side of the football.
While last year fans of the defensive line had to wait until the second round to see a player at that position selected, odds are there will be no such wait this season. Two players — Jordan Davis and Devonte Wyatt — are consistently inside the first round in mock drafts at the moment, and players such as DeMarvin Leal, Perrion Winfrey and Travis Jones are others who might sneak into the first.
