Tough call between Mathis and Umenyiora. Went with Mathis. Smith is close too.

I honestly don't get the Taylor love. Do people not realize this is for a dynasty league?

I see was too late for 1 & 2. Like Smith as a 2, easy choice for 3.

Bia, want me to email you an age list for IDPs? I've got it in Excel.

Looks like this is Osi's, as it should be.

As much as I like Hali and K-Will (have both, along with Osi in one league), neither should be getting votes until we're around #7-10.

Taylor is still playing at a high level. Me personally, in my admittedly limited dynasty experience, I think some people put way too much emphasis on youth and hype. I understand that you need to look longterm in dynasty more than in other formats, but to almost completely discount the production and consistency of some vets seems ridiculous, imho.

I agree with this with regard to IDPs. The same risks exist that offensive players have, with some extra:-Scheme changes can kill a player's value, particularly a DE.-Position switches can kill a player's value, particularly an LB.-Coaches are more likely to platoon on defense than on offense.

Yes, but we're talking Taylor over some proven youth like Umenyiora and Mathis.

too much emphisus is put on younger players in these rankings. If you were to do a dynasty league, you will soon find out that you cannot afford too many young players on your team... you won't have the contract years to sign them as long as you want. A good team needs quality veterans to be competitive imo. An older player who performs at a high level and only takes a few contract years is just as valuable.

You're assuming a contract league, which is fine, but most here are probably thinking of the Zealots leagues, which don't have contracts.I'm a person who goes with proven young players as much as possible in dynasties, and it works for me.

I voted Osi but I have to say, given some of the names that are options, Aaron Schobel should at least make the list.

John Abraham as well. When healthy, he's a beast.

FYI, I think of dynasty leagues and contract leagues as two separate things.
