Top college defensive linemen, outside linebackers
A look at a few notable defensive linemen and outside linebackers in this week's draft:
SERGIO KINDLE
6-3, 250, DE, Texas
Explosive pass rusher with the speed and agility to turn the corner quickly and get to the QB. Some say he projects best as an OLB in a 3-4 scheme. He was a two-year starter for the Longhorns and second-team All-Big 12 in 2009.
JASON PIERRE-PAUL
6-5, 270, DE, South Florida
Intriguing because of his upside. Played for three programs and spent only one season at South Florida. Has a nice burst and gets off the ball quickly.
JERRY HUGHES
6-2, 255, DE/OLB, TCU
Over the past two seasons, he's been one of the top college pass rushers, with an array of moves. Negatives: May be a bit undersized, and considered by some to be a "tweener."
JARED ODRICK
6-5, 304, DT, Penn State
Strength and size could make him a nice DE in a 3-4. Must work on moves and not get neutralized in double-teams.
CARLOS DUNLAP
6-6, 277, DE, Florida
Despite being 6-6, he ran a 4.7 40 at the combine. Adept at bull-rushing; knows how to use his hands. But he has character issues; he has a DUI arrest and is said to lack a great work ethic.
