Calias Campbell
Lawrence Jackson
Vernon Gholston
Chris Ellis
Quentin Groves
Chris Long
Chris Ellis
Kenny Iwebema

which class do you think is stronger?

[princefielder28]

This year's class is quite impressive with Adams, Anderson, Carriker, Moss, and possibly Johnson or Moses going in round one

[fenikz]

moses is far to small to play DE though

[DoWnThEfiElD]

I like this years way more.

I'm really not that high on Gholston.

[IrishBrowns]

this years for sure

[RaiderNation]

Lawrence Jackson will be the best DE out of both classes

[fenikz]

Calias Campbell
Lawrence Jackson
Gaines Adams
Jamaal Anderson
Vernon Gholston
Adam Carriker
Jarvis Moss
Chris Ellis
Charles Johnson
Chris Long
LaMarr Woodley
Quentin Groves
Kenny Iwebema
Victor Abiamiri

Chris Ellis is so good he's on there twice...

Seriously though, I'd probably take this years because I think they're more well rounded against the run and pass. I think next years has more potential for superstars though.

Calais Campbell is a freaking monster, IMO he'll be the best out of all of them.

I'm really not that high on Gholston.

Well first hes an OSU guy and your a Michigan guy so ok. Second I laugh every day because hes from Ann Arbor Michigan and said he would rather be a Buckeye than play for Carr.

he reminds me of kearse, i think he can play DE in a 4-3 Defense.

Campbell makes the freak look human

LOL.

The 2008 DE class starts and ends with Calais Campbell. 10 sacks and 20 TFL during the 2006 season. Watch out for 81.

[TCU]

2008 and you didnt even mention Tommy Blake from TCU, he is all kinds of sick.

[energizerbunny]

if Gholston can pass drugs tests I cannot wait to see him next season. He is a physical freak

And your an OSU fan. So who's opinion should we take seriously?

[etk]

Calais Campbell single-handedly makes next year's class the strongest. He will be a stud for years and years. Nobody fits that bill this year.

[asu2100]

dont forget about Loren Howard if he every gets healthy, watch out for him next year

Get him in the right system and I don't think he would have many problems.. Maybe a cover 2 defence which generally uses smaller lineman.

Off-topic but that's the second greatest avatar ever, etk.

On-topic, well, this DE class is really pretty great; it has good front end talent if no real monsters and a ton of depth.

Next year could have one or two monster prospects in it but I don't think it'll end up having the same depth as this year.

Or because his frame looks maxed out for a DE, I don't know how much more room he has to grow in the NFL, so im not sure where his true potential lies... I don't know how fast he is or i think he would be better as a 3-4 LB.

Also fyi he's from Detroit Cass Tech to be exact, not from AA. So really thats not even that funny, I laugh that you thought he was from AA the whole time, when he's really over and hour away.

he's got plenty of room to add weight as well.
