This is overall, so we aren't just judging pass rushers here.
1. Alabama
2. Missouri
3. Tennessee
4. Texas A&M
5. LSU
6. Auburn
7. Ole Miss
8. Arkansas
9. Florida
10. Georgia
11. Vanderbilt
12. Mississippi State
13. South Carolina
14. Kentucky
There are some real unreal defensive lines in the league this year.

I don't have a clue for us. We could be top 4 or bottom 4 and neither would surprise me.

Auburn is better than 6.

Could be higher or lower depending on how much Mack and Henderson improved from last season.

That was my initial thought too, but look at the teams in front of them.
The league is STACKED on the defensive line this year.

I feel pretty good about our pass rushers. I think it'll be our strength over run stopping.

It is hard to put Arkansas any higher because all those lines are very solid but I will be surprised if they are not a little better than 8th when the season is said and done.

Auburn will be top 4 or 5

Florida too low, Ole Miss too high, but otherwise pretty solid.

I was going to say there's no way Auburn is better than LSU, but you already fixed that.
Other than that it looks solid to me.

Feels weird to think "less" of our line just because Key is actually an OLB now.

I don't know about any of the other teams, but you certainly have UK in the right spot. We are really going to struggle up front this year, barring some miraculous breakthrough by some unknown players.

I think 1-11 could have really solid defensive lines. That's pretty incredible.
1-6 could all have borderline elite lines.

By all accounts, Kingsley Keke was the standout DT in the spring so he should help that position as well.

You said overall, not pass rush. So why is a team that can't stop the run in the top 4? No doubt tamu has some flash. But they usually struggle against teams that have good olines. They will struggle against LSU, Arkansas and Bama. Chavis D struggled against power teams at LSU.

If we just had an average defensive line i'd be happy. Our secondary is good but with the defensive line we have they're going to have to cover guys for 10 seconds each play.

Looks good

This. All of those lines will be brutal.

Every pass rush OLB in a 3-4 should be considered a part of the defensive front.
LSU is a bit tough to gauge. I think you're going to see more than 3 guys with their hands in the dirt more often than not. They just don't have the personnel to run a base 3-4 yet.
