NFL Draft: Defensive player thumbnails

A look at some of the top prospects available at each position in the upcoming NFL draft (x-denotes early entrant):

EDGE RUSHERS/ENDS

Position outlook: Beyond Bradley Chubb, most of the best potential pass rushers have question marks that could keep them out of the first round.

Bradley Chubb, 6-foot-4, 269 pounds, North Carolina State

Strengths: Rushes with a good combination of power and speed, and varied moves. Holds his ground well against the run.

Weaknesses: Not quite the elite athleticism of a player such as Myles Garrett, which could limit his upside.
