COMMENTS
	Aaron Donald, LAR: One of the best DL to ever play the game, and still an IDP beast who fills up the stat sheet.
	Cameron Heyward, PIT: Just gets it done every year and benefits from T.J. Watt's presence.
	Nick Bosa, SF: The consensus No.1 IDP lineman; he's a force to be reckoned with and a legitimate freak pass rusher.
	Cameron Jordan, NO: Another stalwart DL who's far from hanging it up.
	Myles Garrett, CLE: Garrett seems like a lock for 10 sacks and has enormous upside as the most talented player on this defense.
	DeForest Buckner, IND: There are concerns he's lost a step, but he's a stat stuffer in IDP.
	Jeffery Simmons, TEN: He could be in line for a career year and top 10 DL stats.
	Brian Burns, CAR: I'm buying for his consistency and surroundings, where he's sneaky good week-to-week.
	Maxx Crosby, LV: Big, fast and elusive, Crosby has big games early but can disappear down the stretch.
	Christian Wilkins, MIA: Wilkins is another player who could take a big step forward in 2022.
	Sam Hubbard, CIN: Trey Hendrickson stole the show in 2021, but I'm betting on a big bounce back year from Hubbard.
	J.J. Watt, ARI: Still viable when he's healthy, I miss the days of him racking up the stats in every category.
	Demarcus Lawrence, DAL: A future HOFer with plenty in the tank on a D-line that needs him to produce.
	Danielle Hunter, MIN: Perhaps the most dynamic player in the Top 10; Hunter could end up in the top 5 or outside the Top 25.
	Aidan Hutchinson, DET: Another unknown commodity who will be all over the place in IDP drafts.
	Gregory Rousseau, BUF: I bought low last year and he paid off big. Nobody had him in their Top 25 DL and he stepped up in a big way.
	Chase Young, WAS: PUP list has him missing at least the first four games.
	Kayvon Thibodeaux, NYG: The Thiobodeaux Wild Card was getting pulled in drafts, but he still might be worth the reach, especially if he comes back quickly from the MCL sprain.
