DE for all the previous listed reasons.
A dominant one(or ones) wrecks absolute havoc with all phases of the opposing Offense.
Think FSU vs OSU in the 97 Sugar.
If I could pick every year and say these 9 positions will be solid but not great and these 2 positions will be great I'm taking my 2 "greats" and putting them at bookend DE's.

I say DE.
Why?
Well College football is more about CONTAINMENT. Keeping a runner, especially a running QB inside the numbers is a major factor in having a good defense. You CANT let a team controll the corners, you gotta keep an offense in the middle of the field so that the 2nd most important position in CFB (LB) can make tackles  |

I think it all starts up front with good DT's. They can make an average linebacker look good, and they can get pressure without blitzing. If you have two great DT's they can shut down the run, and force a double team which free's up a lineman when you do decide to blitz.

Defensive backs, Cornerbacks in particular. As my team experienced at times this year, if you do not have solid DB's to cover behind the LB's, you are dead. DE is a close second, just because how they can disrupt the game on every play, but a true shutdown corner can help a defense immediately.

Nobody can dictate a game like a great DE! He changes everything.
