Defensive Ends
Not many surprises here. I’m somewhat taken aback by Jason Jones, who was the Lions worst defender in 2014 but rates in at a respectable 80. Also of note, Xavier Proctor moved to offensive tackle.
| First Name | Last Name | Position | OVR |
| Ezekiel | Ansah | RE | 88 |
| Jason | Jones | LE | 80 |
| Phillip | Hunt | LE | 73 |
| Darryl | Tapp | RE | 72 |
| Devin | Taylor | LE | 72 |
| Larry | Webster | LE | 69 |
| Xavier | Proctor | RE | 62 |
Defensive Tackles
I’m a little surprised that Haloti Ngata still rates in at a 92. This is one of the position groups you’re going to see a lot of ratings going up and down, with Caraun Reid likely starting if he continues his strong camp and preseason.
| First Name | Last Name | Position | OVR |
| Haloti | Ngata | DT | 92 |
| Tyrunn | Walker | DT | 79 |
| Jermelle | Cudjo | DT | 70 |
| Caraun | Reid | DT | 68 |
| Gabe | Wright | DT | 65 |
