Patrick Willis, Jared Allen and all the IDPs fit to draft

Posted Jul. 25 at 12:23 AM

The Fantasy Football Indepth experts draft that I've been participating in these past two weeks is still going on -- that's what happens when each owner is required to start 6 individual defensive players and the draft goes 29 rounds.

We're into the later rounds now, so you're getting a lot of defensive players, kickers, and the kinds of wide receivers and quarterbacks that won't even be drafted in 90 percent of fantasy leagues.

The league will start two defensive linemen, two linebackers, and two defensive backs -- fairly common for IDP leagues. I've drafted a group that I think will provide reliable tackle numbers at each position as well as solid potential for sacks and turnovers. Justin Tuck and Adewale Ogunleye up front, Kirk Morrison-Chad Greenway-James Farrior-Thomas Davis at linebacker, and Yeremiah Bell and Michael Griffin in the defensive backfield, so far.

The entire draft can be seen at this link. I think at this point the most interesting picks are the defensive ones for owners who actually play in IDP leagues. So below I've extracted the defensive players who have been drafted thus far.
