2025 Offseason Rankings and such (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Tick
- Start date
I took a break last year but will be maintaining a composite combined rookie only with IDP list this year. Still continuing to tweak and draft locations will obviously change up a lot (more for the offense than the defense). I'm in a 12 team and a 16 team so tiers are fluid in number. Always appreciate thoughts!

Combined Mock Drafts
I would follow Barmore's health over the off season. If he gets a clean bill of health (missed most of last season due to blood clots) he is a top 15 ish DT and could be a real bargain if people aren't paying attention. Just someone to keep an eye on.
I think he is way too high. Ind rotates guys a lot and still have quite a few rushers to contend with. Paye looked as good or better than Latu as a rookie and still hasn't really gotten the full opportunity or results. I would flip this ranking with the next guy......
Dominated as the year went along. Denver is only going to be better this coming year and this guy is a beast. If he is in this area for ranking I will be having a lot of him as I think he can be a top 15 guy
Another guy I think is way undervalued. He showed spurts of dominance and had a lot of pressures that didn't result in sacks early on and then he got dinged a bit that hampered him. But he finished strong with 2.5 sacks over the last three games. I think he is primed for a big year.
Don't forget about this guy. He missed all last year with an injury but as really good the year before kind of out of nowhere. He is opposite Crosby so has the single teams all game long. He will likely be forgotten about so might be some late round value as a dart throw
All he needs is playing time. Highsmith and Watt have had a lot of injuries over the past few years and Herbig has performed great when on the field. If he gets the PT he will be a monster. I would get him late everywhere.
I think the torch has been passed. I would drop him out of the top 20 and won't be getting him much if this is where he is valued.
I think these guys should be flipped. Sherwood had the dot and was everywhere. Word is Mosely is retiring so it will be these two guys and I like Sherwood more.
Tough to know what to do here. He may be cleared or he may not play again. I haven't really found any info on his status so not sure what to think of him. If you can get him really cheap it might be worth the risk.
He is great in Flores D and never comes off the field. He woudl be a target for me as a top 20 guy.
He is a FA so landing spot will be key. Ind is great for LB's and IDP. If his next spot is not then he really takes a hit.
Kind of boring but good for IDP. The kind of guy you get as your LB3/4 and will put up LB2 numbers with the odd LB1 week.
My choice for taking over Speed. I am getting him wherever I can.
Starting to come on when he hurt is shoulder. Late round dart throw to see if he gets the job and I think he will.

Fantasy Football: Evaluating 2024 IDP defensive line sacks versus expected
Jon Macri evaluates the 2024 IDP defensive line sacks versus expected to provide actionable information for fantasy football managers looking ahead to next season.
www.pff.com
I agree. Expected sacks say he's due for a boom next season.
Koonce is a FA, though - no idea if he goes back to the Raiders.
I agree.

Sherwood is a FA this offseason.
Kind of stinks in coverage, he might be left without a seat.
Me too.
I didn't get him in as many leagues as Carlies, but did everywhere I could.
Buy window reopens for Sir Dennis

Weren't they planning to switch him to DE or something last offseason?
Here are a few more signings that could be of interest:
- Jonathan Allen/Hargrave (Min): immediate improvement on the interior DL. Might push Turner, AVG, & Greenard to new levels
- Roberts (Oak): Spillane and Deablo gone. Maybe a nice solid LB2floor here
- Chase Young (NO): resigns
- Ossai (Cin): Might get a chance if healthy with Hubbard retiring and Hendrickson without a landing spot yet
- Greenlaw (Den): Might be a nice stash
- Hoecht (Buf): did well in LA maybe he gets more chances but probably not
- Davis-Gaither (Ari): Someone has to make tackles
- Burks (Cin): Nothing to see here
- Malik Harrison (Pit): Reunited with Queen. Will he actually get a chance. Might be a hit to P. Wilson
- Darrel Taylor (Hou): Showed flashes in Sea.
- Barton (Ten): does this knock Al-Azeez down?
- Koonce (LVR): Stays oppo Crosby. Was great in 2023 when healthy. Might be a deep sleeper worth a dart throw
- Pat Jones (Car): Excelled in small sample size last year in Minny. Can that continue with full snaps? Will he get full snaps?
- Grady Jarrett/Odeynigbo (Chi): Revamped line. Jarrett probably helps Dexter more than himself and if Odey gets full time snaps he might be really good
- Josh Sweat (Ari): Somebody had to get to the QB, right?
- Spillane (NE): Probably liked him better in Vegas
I think Sherwood is a winner too. With that money he is gonna be the guy.

To your point, it's muddy short-term, but from a contract structure perspective it makes sense. As is both Elliss and Andersen expire at season's end, so this doesn't leave them boxed into next season's free agent class. I think this may create a buying opp for Andersen though. Even if he can't ever stay on the field, the price of admission is going to drop to a deep discount now. If you don't already have him, pitch a lot ball offer, and if he misses, you're not out much more than use of the roster spot.

Al-Azzez ain't in Nashville anymore. This does knock Murray down to an ~80% role though. Can probably dump those Cedric Gray shares too.

He's no stash, he's the guy.

I won't believe Roberts is > an 80%er until after I see it week 1.
Yep....old man brain got me here. Too quick to type and brain farted
He will be the guy but a torn achilles may limit his effectiveness. Last year was a wash as he barely played. I have no idea what he will do.
As a multiple Ellis and Deablo owner Im not feeling great about this
If he gets the time then the tackles will come.

Murray gets 100, Barton gets 80 IMO. Agreed on Gray.

Oh, no - roster bonus due in a week, will know by then.
I don't think Murray goes anywhere but may not be worthwhile in IDP
Gifford is gone to SF. If Murray gets cut its the Gibbens / Gray showdown for the 2nd ILB spot. Lotto tickets for this are pretty much free right now. and it would be wise to have at least one in leagues with 3+ starters at LB.

Gibbens is FA and his injury maybe quite severe to his ability to play in the future.
I was wrong. Murray traded To Dallas for a late round pick. Dallas also signed Sanborn.

So, is that a combination of lots of tackles and a dope bikini line?
