DL Rankings 2025 (Defensive Lineman)

Updated on Fri, 5 Dec 2025

Here are your 2025 DL Rankings. We’re using more than just baseline projections to put each Defensive Lineman in order.

We start with those projections. But we’re also factoring in ceiling projections, floor projections, and consensus rankings to build out 3D Value for every player.

That gives you a fuller picture of where the tiers break and who carries the most upside as you draft.

Pay special attention to the tiers, because there’s often not much separation between individual defensive players as you run through the rankings.
