It depends on your scoring setup. If the scoring is fairly standard I think it's fine. If it's "balanced" I think it's good value. It can seem a bit early for some of the DEs, but I can understand why you'd want to rebuild that position group. And since it's devy s-flex all those picks would have been at least half a round later if this was non-devy and non-superflex so...ThatGuyBrian wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2017 8:57 amDid I make a mistake by selecting the IDP players in the draft? I still think that the DT position is in horrible shape but the DE position now at least has some pretty solid talent. Plus I am pretty happy with Jarrad Daivs and Hasson Reddick at the LB position. How would you rate my draft??Oslo Oildrillers wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2017 3:13 pm Given that it's s-flex, start 2RB, 2-3 LB and 1-2 S, with a roster of 48...I would cut all CBs (except Mathieu if he's a CB), roster max 3-4 safeties, and pick up QB, RB and ILB fliers. There's just not much potential reward by stashing that many safeties and those CBs are totally replaceable through waivers in August.

I tend to go IDP quite often in the third and later. Many owners like to stay away from IDPs and take lottery ticket late round RBs and WRs instead, which gives a higher potential upside but a much smaller chance of hitting, while I like to build a deep and strong IDP group through the draft. That being said forcing need is never a great idea, and especially not at IDP where it's easier to find startable players for free on waivers. Use need as tie-breakers, but it's important to stay disciplined and take advantage of value that drops to you.
