That'll be tough, given the varied scoring systems and flawed value many owners give IDPs within their scoring systems. I asked Pasquino to offer some ideas; his draft pick calculators have use in non-IDP situations and he may have some suggestions on how to adapt for IDP.In general, I'd start with some basic considerations.I'd want to know how your scoring system values each IDP position relative to the others. Specifically, you'll want to know whether a random 95 solo tackle linebacker is equivalent to a RB1 or RB2 or WR1 or WR2 or WR3, etc. Then, you'll want to have some idea of where your leaguemates generally value a top tier IDP. Will a top LB prospect go before or after the second (or even third) tier RB and WR prospects?In leagues where IDPs hold real value (i.e. 10 or more in the top 50 overall, 40 or more in the top 125), you'll often see the top IDP prospects drafted in the 6-12 range. Sometimes, however, concerns over positional scarcity and a reluctance to draft IDP to their true value keeps the IDP guys from being drafted until the top of the second round. In leagues where IDPs are undervalued relative to offensive players by scoring system, it's rare to see an IDP taken before the very end of the first round as owners choose to chase second and third tier offensive upside over the better IDPs.Welcome to the world of IDP.
thanks...looks like a bit of trial and error and hope you don't mess up too much to begin w/ahhhh the learning curveThat'll be tough, given the varied scoring systems and flawed value many owners give IDPs within their scoring systems.

You could try an ADP or look at where rookie IDP's are being drafted after the rookie draft. Many of us will post links where they are being drafted. This is a rookie draft from last season.
