Top Defensive End Short List - 4/13/13

Here is the list of the top defensive ends using a similar stat model as I used for safeties and corners.  There are two types of DEs, smaller DE's that could fit in a 4-3 or as a 3-4 OLB and bigger ones that might be able to fit in as a 5 technique in a 3-4.  I just put them all in one list because that's how GBN Draft Report had them. (Note: I added William Gholston in the top 10 evaluation list because I knew he was productive on  a very good defense.  He was typically ranked around the #15 spot because of his measurables.)

Overall Ranking:
1. Damontre Moore, Texas A&M 2.19
2. Ziggy Anash, BYU 2.17
3. Bjoern Werner, Florida St 2.12
4. Margus Hunt, SMU 1.87 (5T)
5. William Gholston, Michigan St 1.73 (5T)
6. Sam Montgomery, LSU 1.72
7. Alex Okafor, Texas 1.67
8. Tank Carradine, Florida St 1.66 (5T)
9. Corey Lemonier, Auburn 1.63
10. Datone Jones, UCLA  1.55 (5T)
11. Michael Buchanan, Illinois, 1.42
12. Malliciah Goodman, Clemson 1.21 (5T)

Active Stats Ranking (60% weighting)
1. Damontre Moore, Texas A&M 2.23
2. Bjoern Werner, Florida St 2.07
3. Ziggy Anash, BYU 1.77
4. Alex Okafor, Texas 1.75
5. Corey Lemonier, Auburn 1.51

12. Malliciah Goodman, Clemson 0.87 (5T)

Passive Stats Ranking (15% weighting)

Team Data Used: (75% Passing/ 25% Rushing)
I used this weighting because ends have a larger responsibility putting pressure on the QB than interior lineman.

0 - 1.5pts TDs passing allowed  (4 - 38 TDs)
0 - 1.5pts Yds/Att (5.0- 9.3 yds/att)
0 - .5pt TDs allowed rushing (5 -37 TDs)
0 - .5pt Yds/Rush Att (2.43 - 6.7 yds/rush att)

1. Bjoern Werner, Florida St 3.48
2. Tank Carradine, Florida St 3.48 (5T)
3. William Gholston, Michigan St 3.47 (5T) 
4. Ziggy Anash, BYU 3.19
5. Sam Montgomery, LSU 2.99
6. Damontre Moore, Texas A&M 2.46
7. Margus Hunt, SMU 2.09 (5T)

9. Corey Lemonier, Auburn 1.82
10. Alex Okafor, Texas 1.81
11. Datone Jones, UCLA  1.73 (5T)
12. Michael Buchanan, Illinois, 1.54
