I know that I am lumping positions together, but at the GOAT level for defensive linemen, it should just be defensive linemen and not DE vs DT, because I think it's hard to match play styles from era to era. What defensive linemen are asked to do now, is a lot different than any time in the past. But, yeah, Randle was amazing. But, there are so many incredible defensive linemen, and I just can't buy AD as the GOAT. Reggie White Bruce Smith John Randle Buck Buchanan Lee Roy Selman Merlin Olsen Deacon Jones Mean Joe Greene That's just off the top of my head, but I don't see AD being that much better than any of those guys, and I am sure all the ones I can't think of. |

I would say offer the rams a 5th and see if Donald will unretire a champion. Line up next to Jones.

Randle had 137.5 career sacks. Thomas had 93.5, and Doleman had 150.5. Doleman gets forgotten in the annals too, he's 5th all-time in sacks. |

And he is certainly not the top defensive player. No way he ranks above Lawrence Taylor. |
