To me it's those guys will dictate whether they have an 'elite' defensive line or not. As great as Donald, Suh and Brockers can be as a starting trio elite defensive lines have rotations that never let up. So guys like Westbrooks, Easley, Smart, Franklin-Myers, etc. have to bring it as well.

Amen, 93.

The competition for DL rotation will be fierce and a fascinating topic right up until opening day. Smart has to win me over, frankly, but I feel that Wade will come up with a quality backup group when all is said and done.

Btw, how many DL players will they carry, in your opinion? Reason I ask is that there will be tough cuts at LB and CB, too.
