McShay: Best scheme and team fits for front-seven studs

Related Topics: Front-wheel drive, 3–4 defense

This is one of the deeper drafts in recent memory when it comes to front-seven prospects. Thirty-eight of my top 100 players are D-lineman or linebackers.

When trying to pair these players with potential teams, it's instructive to break down the best position fit for each. That's exactly what I did below with all 38 of those front-seven prospects, separating them into six different categories: 4-3 DE, 3-4 OLB, 3-4 DE (5-technique), 4-3 DT (3-technique), nose tackle and off-the-line LBs. I put each player below where I think they fit best in the NFL, but some guys are scheme versatile.
