Barnwell: DE Ezekiel Ansah (2013: first round, fifth overall) I’m giving the Jaguars the young pass-rusher that Gus Bradley’s defense deserves. The Jaguars have quietly put together the league’s second-best pass rush this season, but that’s been a group effort, and the primary pass-rusher in the Leo role for Bradley’s defense has been 33-year-old Chris Clemons. Ansah gives the Jags a freak athlete to build around as they retool their front seven.

Mays: DE Ezekiel Ansah. Based solely on talent, Ansah is my favorite player from this draft. He’s looked ridiculous in stretches for the Lions this year — standing up as a linebacker, hunting down quarterbacks, dropping into coverage. This is his fifth year of football, like, ever, and he’s already affecting games in more ways than just about anyone we’re going to talk about here. Bradley is already in a good mood all the time. Just imagine the look on his face when he finds out he gets Ansah.

5. Detroit Lions: DE Ezekiel Ansah

Perhaps the biggest success story from the top half of the first round, Ansah left BYU as an even rawer pass-rushing project than Jordan. Ansah started for only one season at BYU, accruing just 4.5 sacks against what was hardly a difficult slate of opponents. He showed versatility and growth during his time at school, but when the Lions took him with the fifth pick, they were basically buying a lottery ticket.

They appear to have hit the jackpot. Ansah got better as his rookie season went along, as five of his rookie-high eight sacks came after he returned from a high ankle sprain in Week 12. This year, he’s been a revelation, capable of making former top-five picks like Matt Kalil look silly in one-on-one matchups. He still isn’t playing every down, but Ansah’s been the best pure pass-rusher on football’s best defense. Ansah remains rough around the edges, but he’s far closer to being a superstar than he is to washing out of the league, possibilities that seemed to hold similar probabilities when he was drafted.
