Draft Nuggets 2015: Entry #14

Positional Breakdowns: Edge Rushers
The most valuable and important positions on any football team (in no particular order) are quarterback, left tackle and pass rushers. History has shown that teams that are equipped as these positions have a chance to win the Super Bowl every year. And while successful QBs and LTs generally have the same attributes that have always had, pass rushers come in all shapes and sizes. Therefore, as opposed to trying to thread the needle between what is a defensive end versus an outside linebacker, I have just grouped all the players into one category: Edge Rushers. Of course, some players are more likely to thrive in a different system (see Jerry Hughes in Buffalo) and that will be noted in their profile. Here is an overall look at the edge rushers available in this draft as I would order them on my big board.
