Who has the best defensive lines for 2022?
Why?
(I'm still at work and haven't looked up preseason all conference lists yet)
Football is typically won/lost in the trenches. I haven't seen much to date about the defensive fronts on the secrant.

Alabama doesn’t have a “jump off the page” first rounder at DL. But it’s a deep group. Will be one of the best in the country. Even after losing Phil Mathis to the NFL.
Freddie Roach is doing a tremendous job with his unit.

On paper, LSU’s DL should be excellent. I have no idea how it stacks up with UGA or anyone else though.

That is kind of my issue (I know the Dawgs but I don't know anyone else).
UGA looks great everywhere but NT (we may be fine, but we are replacing a unicorn). We can't play the same calls and expect the same results. We will have to play to other strengths.
Ultimately, it is going to be the dominant fronts that give Stetson the most trouble.
I'm curious who has a front that can get to Stetson and make him struggle.

Starting DL with:
DE: Ali Gaye
DL: Jaqueline Roy
DL: Maason Smith
DE: BJ Ojulari
Should be a nasty line. Depth is the only concern but with them
Healthy should be amongst the top of the SEC. Looking forward to this group the most on this team.

I remember Smith and Ojulari as recruits. They definitely were wants.

This is just based on fall camp rotations on the first day, which don't really mean shite:
1st Unit DL
Diggs (4* .93 RS-SO), Turner (5* .99 SO), Jackson (4* .97 JR), Adeleye (4* .98 RS-FR)
2nd Unit DL
Burris (4* .94 RS-FR), Lucas (4* .98 FR), Raikes (3* .89 JR), L. Overton (5* .99 FR)
3rd Unit DL
Stewart (5* .99 FR), Nolen (5* .99 FR), Regis (3* .88 RS-FR), White (4* .98 FR)
4th Unit DL
Sylla (4* .96 FR) + some other guys I'd never heard of
Also:Brownlow-Dindy (5* .99 FR) is rehabbing an injury from the All American game but will return sometime this season.
Ours will be kind of young, but loaded with talent.

According to pre season all sec, lsu starting dl should be best in the sec. LSU placed 3, Bama 2 auburn 2.

LSU’s starters should be pretty salty. Not sure what their depth is like though

Byron Young is likely Alabama’s best DL for the NFL draft and he didn’t make the preseason SEC teams.

arse&m's line is stacked.
I knew y'all had this past signing class but forgot about guys like overton, adeleye, lucas, and shemar turner.

It is biased towards more experienced players and might be less informed than most sources

Alabama's is a very solid group, especially against the run, but as Cap said there hasn't been a disruptive pass rusher emerge from that group yet. Tim Smith and Byron Young have shown flashes, but nobody you can count on for it. However, with Anderson and Turner on the outsides, they certainly aren't in a position where they are asked to do that necessarily. But the emergence of Smith or Young as a pressure maker could take the group from very good to elite.
It is probably the most experienced 2-deep in the front 7 that I can remember at Alabama.
DE - Justin Eboigbe (37 games played)
DT - DJ Dale (36 games played),
DE - Byron Young (41 games played), Tim Smith (24 games played)
OLB - Will Anderson (28 games played)
ILB - Henry To'o To'o (38 games played)
ILB - Jaylen Moody (55 games played)
OLB - Dallas Turner (15 games played)

Problem with that is it doesn’t really evaluate depth which is important part of the question on DL.
