I really enjoyed this content. I will be drafting after Labor Day weekend. 12 person combined league and I typically wait to draft my first IDP player about rd 9. I’m torn this year in regards to drafting ED rushers first or LB position first? Thoughts and thanks for the worthy content
Edge vs LB will be really scoring system and starting lineup dependent. If it's tackle heavy or requires 3 LB starters, I tend to skew that direction. It mostly comes down to who is the BPA when I pivot to IDP. If a 1st round edge is there and a 2nd round LB, I would go edge. Good luck in the draft!
I’ll add that it also depends on whether all edge rushers are listed as DE (true position) or if some are listed as LB. If there is a more limited supply of LBs, it pushes them up some for me.
It depends on scoring systems as well what we use is very advantageous to defensive scoring. Every league we’ve done on MFL recently by the 3-4 turn in a combined league Crosby, Watt, Parsons are gone by round 8-9 defence is generally had the top end removed. None of us really play sleeper personally never been a fan of the app give me MFL all the time. We also play all positions and no one gets dual designation at all, so there are starters at DT, DE, LB, CB & S and outside of CB all positions have value because of the scoring system.
Completely agree that scoring systems play a role in these relative valuations (and I'm with you in your MFL preference as a true position truther). The place scoring systems influence my strategy is more in terms of the relative valuation within IDP positions rather than relative to offensive players. The logic is similar to TEP where it boosts all TE so whenever you draft them, they will score more points but you don't necessarily move them up your draft board significantly. If I were in a crazy league that gave 5 points per CB tackle, I wouldn't draft CB very early at the expense of offense because I know the are still going to be good CB options after any kind of run. Thanks for listening!
Even though I waited too long to draft my IDPs for DBs and DL. In the final rounds I ended up with Dugger and Brisker. Then Will Anderson and Montez Sweat for DLs. I got Landry very late.
For sure, those play a part. The strategy laid out here is specifically for IDP best ball. But a lot of the thinking applies across the board. Thanks for watching!
I haven't found a system where DBS matter at all. Totally agree with you guys on when to draft them. No matter the scoring there are way more defensive guys to pick from than offense generally speaking.
I honestly haven't found a scoring system that pushes me off of the strategy I laid out. Roster composition, in the other hand, can be huge. I'm in one redraft league with 10 off starters and 5 IDP and so those IDP are always my last 5 picks.
I don't think we can say Pittman to flowers is a big drop off when Pittman has massive questions as to his starting qb flowers was massively missed used the first half of last season
That was just one example that jumped out from the ADP. I'm not drafting Pittman too heavily but the point I was trying to make is that Pittman to Flowers is an 8 spot positional ECR drop compared to the 1 spot positional drop moving from Watt to Parsons. Thanks for listening!
No matter the scoring system you always wait until the end for db. They are too hard to predict year to year and they are a dime a dozen
Yep. Almost always, the 1 scorer is found on waivers midway through the year

That's a great haul!
All about the scoring system and roster requirements

@@ProfessorIDP our current league added IDP a few years ago. 16 team, 3 IDPs, any position. Most of the time, the last 4 picks are D and K
@@psunitro1 in a 16 team there's an argument for edge over a tight end
Go Hawks
For sure! Go Hawks!!!!!🐤
