The NFL Draft is over, which undrafted free agent linemen are available?

The NFL is won in the trenches, and having a physical defensive line is just as important as having a physical offensive line.

Without a strong defensive line, holes get opened up for the run game and no pressure gets to the quarterback.

With the draft over, there is a large list of names available for teams looking for young depth along their defensive line.

Whether it’s an end who can get after the quarterback or a big nose tackle who can stuff the run at the point of attack, every team has needs to fit their scheme along the defensive line.

With the draft over, here is the list of available undrafted free agent defensive linemen.

Defensive lineman:

Ryan Delaire, Towson
Leon Orr, Florida
Zach Wagenmann, Montana
Corey Crawford, Clemson
Joey Mbu, Houston
Bobby Richardson, Indiana
J.T. Surratt, South Carolina
Louis Trinca-Pasat, Iowa
Cedric Reed, Texas
Tavaris Barnes, Clemson
Derrick Lott, Tennessee-Chatanooga
Ellis McCarthy, UCLA
Toby Johnson, Georgia
Chrishon Rose, East Carolina
Ray Drew, Georgia
Carlos Thompson, Ole Miss
Andre Monroe, Maryland
Toby Johnson, Georgia
Tony Pole, Washington State
James Rouse, Marshall
Jermauria Rasco, LSU
Jordan Williams, Tennessee
Caushaud Lyons, Tuscolum
Mike Reilly, William & Mary
Andrew Hudson, Washington
Travis Raciti, San Jose State
Lyndon Trail, Norfolk State
Brock Hekking, Nevada
Daryl Waud, Western Ontario
Quayshane Buckley, Idaho
Cory Morrissey, Iowa State

It’s also certainly possible that many of these names could become outside linebackers depending on the scheme and fit of the team they sign with.

It’s a position that tends to be easier than most to find talent at, and a lot of times these extra defensive lineman can provide huge relief late in games when legs get tired.

With plenty of names available, who will sign where?
