  Also include any sleepers that may arise into fantasy stardome.

  JJ Watt - of course
  
  Chandler Jones - showed signs of dominance last year before getting nagging injuries that kept him from being effective
  
  JPP - as long as his back problems don't become something serious
  
  Cliff Avril - think he will be dominant in Seattle... great defense to work with
  
  Datone Jones - My sleeper... been trying to pick him up in my leagues on the cheap before he breaks out a little and has a great rookie campaign in Green Bay
  
  ... there are obviously better guys out there (safer) than D. Jones... just trying my best to be DC BOLD!

  Interesting.  Historically rookie DEs don't usually produce.  It's usually in year 2 that they make a big jump.

  why do you feel so good about Jones? I would be interested in the reasons - I may be interested in drafting him

  yeah it might actually take that...I remember though seeing JJ be a dominant force in his rookie year during the playoffs... being on a top dynasty list, might have to be a little patient, but I will surely wait

  "Because Green Bay plays a 3-4 defense, this kid is an ideal fit. I love this kid's upside. He fits the scheme. He's the only one I saw who beat Eric Fisher all week long in one-on-one." -- Mike Mayock
  
  from nfl.com.... Jones' senior year was extremely productive. He tallied 62 tackles with 19 of them coming for loss. He also managed to add 6.5 sacks. His huge frame, still filling out, and pure power off the ball make him a highly regarded prospect.
  
  this is just a guy I'm going after, just one of those guys I feel can pan out...I loved chandler jones last year, I went after him like im going after d. jones this year

  Watt and JPP are the top DL at the moment. Top DL change yearly.

  Avril couldnt produce much on a stud D line in Detroit. No way he deserves top 5 imo.

  I like Ansah in Detroit and think he is potential top 5 material.

  thanks for the tip! I drafted Chandler Jones last year with the same "gut feeling" - Hadn't even considered Jones till now! I own BJ Raji, nothing to brag about, but perhaps I'll draft Jones and have The Packers DE's - hoping Raji finally steps us as well!
