Welcome to our 2020 NFL Draft defensive line and edge rusher rankings. Players designated with the edge rusher position are ones who typically line up as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defensive scheme, or put their hand in the dirt, working as a defensive end in a 4-3. The defensive line designation or “DL” will be used for players who work as a 4-3 tackle or play a 1-5 technique in a 3-4 scheme.
Reminder: These are player rankings, not a Mock Draft. Just because we may grade a player higher on our board than another player, doesn’t mean we projected them to be the higher selection come draft day.
