2012 NFL Draft rankings: Defensive end

Posted Jun 30, 2011
Of all the positions on defense in the 2012 NFL Draft, none has more potential than the defensive end class. The star is North Carolina senior Quinton Coples. After that, it's intrigue. Fellow Tar Heel Donte Paige-Moss certainly seems the part, but has always been considered undersized. Now that he's up to 260 pounds, it will be interesting to see if Paige-Moss can maintain his explosiveness. (Mocking the Draft)
