5 best you've ever seen (DL, LB, DB)
Branching off from our five best QB, RB, WR thread, let's address the D. Who are your 5 best you've seen at defensive line, linebacker, and defensive back, NON-Skins?
Mine in no particular order: Defensive line: Reggie White Bruce Smith John Randle Howie Long Warren Sapp Linebacker: Lawrence Taylor Ray Lewis Derrick Thomas Mike Singletary Junior Seau Defensive backs: Ronnie Lott Deion Sanders Rod Woodson Champ Bailey Ed Reed |

I'd replace him with Clyde Simmons -- 121 career sacks to Long's 84. I just remember the Simmons/White duo wreaking havoc when they were with the Eagles. |
