Nice job.

One that jumps out at me is Mario Williams at 33.  A potential elite DE is one of the only IDP's worth reaching for IDP dynasty fantasy drafts.  Every other position it is usually a better gamble to look harder at offense, even if the player is more of a reach.

LB and S, you can count more on tackles.  At other positions, you are looking for playmakers b/c tackle numbers won't be consistent or, typically, as much.  Sacks and turnovers are the big point plays for IDP.  Picks are impossible to predict.  So that leaves forced and recovered fumbles.  Like picks, fumble recoveries a crapshoot. Generally, your elite DEs are going to be the leaders in forced fumbles and, of course, sacks.  So that is the one position on defense if you can lock down a stud it is worth reaching for. Even if you aren't sold Super Mario is the next Julius Peppers, the potential that he can should objectively increase his value.

I think it all comes down to the points given for sacks. If its two times a tackle, wait on Mario. If its closer to three, Mario becomes a good pick in the 2nd.One that does make me hesitate on taking Mario too early is that he should face double teams until Houston gets a credible end on the opposite side.

Bloom,

If you have a league that requires the DT position, where do you fit those guys into the equation, especially in a league where people draft a lot more defensive earlier in the draft. Obviously Bunkley is the big name here but what others are worth considering in the draft and where if you have a major shortage at the position. Who has a chance to end up in a rotation right off the bat and produce a few tackles here and there? Just don't know that much about the DT prospects as not too many post much about them since most leagues don't break them apart from the DE's.

Honestly, only a few DTs ever make an impact for fantasy... John Henderson, Rod Coleman, Kevin Williams. I wouldn't take them even in DT required leagues until most of the offensive skill players with any kind of shot to be an eventual starter are gone (usually around 60/70). The only exception I would make is if your league weights stats for DTs so that they score similar to other IDPs.
