SEC defensive lines are absolutely ultra-elite this year.

I know that the linemen in this conference are always a couple notches above the rest of the ncaa but this year that is an understatement.

Auburn may have the best line in America. Georgia is stacked almost three deep with elite linemen. LSU has a dominant line again imo. Bama has an elite line as well though ours isn't quite as good as the top three.

South Carolina may would have the top line in any other conference. Mississippi State has a group of dogs even after losing an All-American group from last year. Florida looks to have a quality group and Missouri always has a dominant line.

I know that offenses have gained the upper hand in today's football but I think it will be a lot of fun watching defense this year. I worry a bit about the health of our starting quarterbacks when I see how many future NFL DLineman are in the conference right now.

I hope you are right. The DL is our weakest link on defense.

I do believe we will have a good DL, but I am not convinced it will be the best in the nation. We lost a solid NFL guy in the middle...young guys have shown flashes but none look to have his skills.

We lack a true speed pass rushers. We also have a couple of young guys who have flashed but nothing to make you think they'll have 10 sacks, etc...

I think people are sleeping on A&M's line and it's going to come as a big surprise.

Even losing Josh Allen, ours will be very good. And deep. Probably the first time we’ve had true SEC depth across the line. And we get Paschal back post-chemo too.

Kentucky has a top 5 defensive line in the sec including after our 17 sack first round pick left.
