Our IDP has done two rookie drafts and so far the only player drafted in round 1 (top 12 picks) was Thomas Davis. Our league has contracts and rookie contracts and bonuses so that might skew it somewhat but for the most part the IDP don't seem to start until around the 15th pick or so. Based on the IDPs this year I am not anticipating that changing too much.
AJ Hawk did not go in the top 12? Surprising ...
Working on the post combine update - hope to have it done by this weekend, but Im swamped getting NFLDraftGuys off the ground.Update?

Hawk went at 15 and Chad Greenway went at 16. However, the salaries for LB are comparable to TE's in our league and DL and DB are much lower. To my way of thinking this will supress the value of most IDP's.
I realize that things differ from league to league but in my experience (two start 3 DL, 4 LB, 4 DB dynasty leagues going into their eighth years) it is extremely rare to find a DB that lives up to first round value. We do not seperate CB and S but I have always found DB to be the easiest position to fill on the waiver wire. These are deep leagues (one 12 and one 16 teamer) with deep rosters (45 players) and there are ALWAYS viable DBs on the wire.Even DL are too volatile to predict, although the better ones are more scarce overall so I would be more inclined to take a shot at a Gaines Adams than a Laron Landry.I usually find that there are a couple LBs that are worthy of first round selections. Last year AJ Hawk went 1.10 and Bobby Carpenter went 1.11 (to a huge Dallas homer) in my 16 teamer. Hawk was worth a first round pick and so were Demeco Ryans (2.10) and Ernie Sims (2.04). Of course, Chad Greenway (2.03) and Manny Lawson (2.11) were picked in their vicinity. LBs are the ones that usually have the most value for me when the dust settles...you just have to make sure you take the right ones.
Good luck!

I agree on the DBs, the only one I remember thinking I would take late in the 1st was Polamalu, he's pretty much lived up to it. DL usually aren't worth a 1st either.
