DE -- Awesome

DE -- Scary
Backups:
DE -- Awesome, Awesome, Scary, Solid, Solid
DT -- Awesome, Scary, Awesome, Solid
But seriously, we have a bigtime pass-rush problem coming from the right side, where that Alem guy is. He just can't get to the QB at all. You should probably just shift your blocking scheme to the other side and pay him no attention at all.

Rahim Alem (WDE)- One of the top pass rushing DEs in the SEC (not sure how he will do against the run). Very quick and athletic.
Pep Livingston (SDE) - Played well in spot duty. High motor. Nose for the ball. He is more of a run stuffing DE than a speed guy though.
Its a toss up as far as who our starting DTs are out of these three
Al Woods (DT)- MONSTEROUS Human Being. 5 Star recruit. Has shown flashes. Some NFl people are saying possible high draft pick but he is never really consistently played a major role on D. Some say its bc of LSU's former Def scheme.
Drake Nevis (DT) - More of the Dorsey/Sapp mold of DT. Great quickness and nose for the ball. He has played well when called upon in the past but was behind some quality DTs. We expect big things from him.
Charles Alexander (DT) - Very talented DT who has been constantly hampered by injury. Hopefully this year he stays injury free

Alem will likely get several hits on Locker
it should be tough to run up the middle, especially over Woods
but other than that as long as your OL is decent you will probably not have a ton of problems with them in Game 1, especially with how mobile Locker can be

There is a little, short guy who plays DE...but he is ridiculously fast

We have a very solid 3 man DT rotation with Alexander, Nevis and Woods. JUCO transfer Hicks gives us some quality depth. At DE, Alem is an all SEC caliber player who is a fantastic pass rusher. The other end, Pep Livingston, has seen some PT and is a pretty solid player. Only real question would be the depth at DE. Behind Alem and Pep we have two RSFR and a true Frosh who all look promising, but are unproven.
In answer to your question, whether the DL is a strength or weakness is TBD.

All three DT's expected to play the majority of the time have been injury prone. Both DE have been out of practice with injuries. One with a broken hand. Depth is talented but consists of freshmen or RS Freshmen. No real Jr's or Soph's supporting depth.
If healthy, will be solid, if we get a couple of injuries, then it could be a big ? because of the youth of the back-ups.

My rundown:
Atleast 8 guys who will be on NFL rosters after they graduate. Maybe more.
