Value

My question is how do you work in defensive players into your overall rank lists? I have a league where DL, LB and DB get as many point as any other positions. Case in point, Watt based on last years stats is a round 1 selection. Sacks are 3pts, solo's are 1 for starters.

I'm just curious how you guys do it.

 

Good luck to you all this year.

Watt, much like Jimmy Graham and Calvin Johnson according to some, is in a tier all by himself. He provides a distinct positional advantage.

 

That said, do you burn a first-rounder on an IDP? It's beyond risky and I wouldn't do it even in your scoring system.

 

LB is deep and can be filled out later in your draft. I would want a "stud" LB, however, and they're probably going in round 5 or 6 I'd guess if your league scoring is set up that way.

 

You can always wait on DB. In fact, you're more likely to get an every-week starter off waivers in the first couple of weeks than hit big on 2 DBs. Grab a couple that have hown consistency later in your draft and keep your eye on the waiver wire.

We do start two each for defense. That's why i almost could value Watt in the overall top 10. It's crazy i know, but he was 100 pts better than the 3rd ranked DL. I agree on Dbacks, dime a dozen.
