Bleacher Report’s lead NFL draft scout Matt Miller takes a look at the top five defensive ends in the 2012 NFL draft, giving you the low-down on where they project in the 2012 draft class and where each is projected to play next season.

Will the 3-4 defense move these defensive ends to outside linebacker, or will shifts to a 4-3 defense in Buffalo and Miami force early selections at defensive end?
