Fantasy offseason dynasty rankings?

I accidentally pointed to the redraft rankings.  https://www.big3idp.com/top150idp is dynasty.

Interesting on draft pedigree

1st round 59 (31 DL 17 LB 11 DB)

2nd round 29 (5 DL 15 LB 9 DB)

3rd round 25 (7 DL 10 LB 8 DB)

4th round 16 (4 DL 10 LB 2 DB)

5Th round 12 ( 1 DL 10 LB 1DB)

6th round 2 ( 1 LB 1 DB)

7th round 1 (1 DB)

undrafted 6 ( 4 LB 2 DB)

Draft pedigree is huge especially for DL. We know not as many LB are drafted round 1. In fact since 2011 33 LB drafted in round 1, 37 in round 2 and 39 in round 3. So LB drafted here have 52% in round 1, 41% in round 2 and 26% in round 3.

I'm working on my ranks now. How crazy would I be to leave Blake Martinez and Joe schobert out of my overall top 50 IDPs for fear they don't land full-time gigs in free agency?

Schobert finished the year quite high but he had two monster games that somewhat inflated his numbers.  He is a solid guy that was on the field basically 100% of the time.  He misses tackles occasionally and isn't as good as he seems.  I am actually trying to trade him at the moment because I don't think he is a top 10 type guy but may bring that in return for those that look at overall numbers instead of game to game numbers.

I grabbed him for free when the preseason rumors of 2017 had him vying for the starting gig and have had zero success trying to move him since, despite a top 10 finish in 2 of 3 seasons. I can't imagine he's going to gain value if he goes to a new situation, though maybe a big payday (should a team choose to do so) plus the top 10 finish this year will be enough to get a nibble.

It looked like Larkin just left out guys who aren't signed (for the most part).  Clowney, Griffin.

[Tick]

This might be the first time in history that FBG has more IDP dynasty rankings up than offensive dynasty rankings.

...which I don't mind at all, because there are 20 other places with offensive rankings up, but very few with IDP rankings.

[Andy Dufresne]

If Carolina is switching back to a 4-3, what does that do to Brian Burns' ranking? He should move up in value, yes?

[tripp]

Outward indications is that the Panthers will go 4-3 this season. I like Burns's upside in Phil Snow's defense. Burns looked good rushing the passer last year but was a liability in run D. I gotta imagine Snow figures something out here. The Panthers are too undermanned to leave Burns on the bench like Perry Fewell did down the stretch last season.

Hmm - might be the same rankings, just with a new date?

I have never liked the way they have the table set up.  It limits the listing because it never removes the other position when you try and isolate something like DT.  So instead of getting 50 or so you end up with less because the table stays the same.  I am not sure why they have it set up like that.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that this frustrates - I can only assume it is so that it shows how they view the players overall while highlighting the selected position, but I find it very difficult to work with. Would at least like the option to view only the selected position.

But they could have it in relation by choosing DL (which included DE and DT).  It is fairly simple to do but not having the option to just have 50 or so DT by choosing DT seems strange.  Very confusing to me.

That would require 50 DTs to be ranked......

There's also this, though it's season-long instead of dynasty (shouldn't be that different IMO):

assume this is for balanced or tackle heavy scoring

 

ETA:  Surprised Devin Bush is so high in the rankings.  His usage down the stretch last year has some reason for concern for me.  He wasn't a 3 down LB's for many of those games.  The usage was confusing which is enough to drop him for me at this point until we see how training camp is going.

Yes, sorry - thought I wrote it at the top but clearly did not. I'll throw it in there now. One of my league's has more unique scoring and I'd consider Watt a top 25 guy in that format - just for some loose context.

I think it's important to note occurrences like those, but any reaction is postponed until the offseason. If the team has concerns about putting more on a young player's plate then their actions will show it. And the Steelers whacked Mark Barron then brought no one else in to compete. They clearly aren't concerned, so neither am I.

Possibly, but I am not sure it was Barron specifically taking away his play time.  Did they start to use Edmonds as a hybrid for some of that passing down work?  I can't recall other than the usage was very strange down the stretch.  His last 6 games the usage was 62%, 74, 75, 83, 74, 92.  I just think this is a big enough flag that putting him in the top 5 seems ambitious let alone #2.

I don't think Barron was necessarily taking away his playing time. Although if someone has info to the contrary please share - there's a reason this is a rough draft! I think the Steelers just decided to take a subpackage approach midseason. That's why all of Vince Williams, Bush, and Barron's snap counts varied week-to-week beginning week 10. 

What specifically led to that decision?  That's why i wanted to see what the Steelers would do this offseason before deciding what to do with Bush. Were they just taking some responsibility off a rookie's plate because they had viable alternatives? or did they have concerns developing about his ability to be the man in the middle to replace Shazier? What they did the last two months just tells me it was because they had alternatives.

I get why someone would rank him as low as the bottom of the top 20. If I were doing just 2020 ranks he probably would not be top 10. I get why someone would look at Bush and see a rookie that lost snaps as last year went on and immediately think 'risk.' But I look at Bush and I see a 22 year old traded up for by a stable org and perennial contender that never trades up that went out of their way to not add competition for him going into year 2...and despite the snap count issues still produced a top 15-20 season. I don't see any risk. Because for me, age matters. And I don't build my teams to be the best team in a particular year. I build my teams, so they are a top 3-5 team every year. Too much luck is involved in winning in December, so my approach is to just maximize my chances of getting there. And I think this is a profile of a top LB for the better part of the next decade.

Given how I approach building my teams you have to make a very compelling case to justify being ranked over ^^^that - Leonard does but Hicks now has to deal with Simmons, Wagner's old, all of Martinez, Schobert, and Littleton are on new teams, Dallas at least intends on Jaylon Smith dealing with LVE, and I don't think the PPG difference is there to go beyond those guys. When I make my tiers I would guess the 2nd one will go from Bush to Edmonds - and the tier is more important than the order with it. But that's my very long winded explanation for why Devin Bush is currently at the top of it.

[tripp]

I read something quoting Tomlin that they didn't want to put to much on Bush's plate. I agree with your take, MAC, that Barron is gone and hasn't been replaced. Next man up behind Bush is Ulysees Gilbert III, their 6th round pick last year. Vince Williams played 404 snaps last season across 14 games. He's the one coming off in dime. It's hard to envision a scenario in which Bush doesn't play 90+% of snaps this year.

[Hankmoody]

They drafted a thumper S/LB hybrid though so that's Barron's replacement.

[tripp]

I ran across this bit earlier this morning about the Steelers' ILB situation. Worth a read (unlike a lot of junk that comes out this time of year):

Which is why it’s not really important to own one. Most owners are in the same boat. If you have a one of these stud DLs it’s a great luxury but if not you try to find the Hubbards or Max Crosby’s of the world and compete with most while placing limited capital into the position. Don’t get me wrong I’d love to own one of these guys but once that ship has sailed just wait on the position.

[Tick]

@Sigmund Bloom Annual request for offseason IDP dynasty rankings sometime between now (when ~60% of teams are done for the season) and the NFL draft.

[Tick]

If anyone finds dynasty rankings that look decent, please post a link.  Most I see are very focused on the rest of this season, but I have some eliminates teams where I’m looking past this season at this point.

My contributions...

*The Eagles cap situation is grotesque, who knows what will happen with leadership, Alex Singleton is a free agent, and they spent a day 2 pick on Davion Taylor who the scouting community pretty much all agreed needed a redshirt year.

*The Browns LB play has been abysmal, but Jacob Phillips issues staying healthy have prevented him from getting a more meaningful opportunity. He was also a day 2 investment, Stefanski has singled him out in multiple press conferences, is just 22 years old, and the two lead LB's (Goodson and M Smith) are free agents.

*The Packers are in a precarious cap position, gushed about Kamal Martin this summer pre-injury, gave him the lead LB role immediately upon his return anyway (til Kirksey returned), and they can shed $6m against the cap by letting the vet go.

Free agent and draft blocks are inevitable, but all 3 of those have path's to a #1 role if their team wants to. Others also have my attention, but those are the 3 young players I'd prioritize over anyone else currently buried on a depth chart when factoring in bang-for-buck. Of course Isaiah Simmons > all of them, but the relative cost will be vastly different.

I'm staying away from rankings this year though. I tried them each of the last two years and don't think doing so was worthwhile. I'd only consider someone else's work as a market evaluation data point. Identify those that could make a big jump then re-assess your roster after the dust settles in May. That's when I think doing rankings was worthwhile.

This is what I do.  Mostly because my scoring system is very big play so most lists don't correspond to value at all.  When scoring systems vary a lot the best way is to make your own lists based on input from multiple sources.

I've been adding Jaylinn Hawkins ATL S and Mykal Walker ATL LB as stashes.

Hawkins is listed as FS on some sites but SS on the Falcons depth chart and in Fsharks, and he sits behind Neal who happens to be in a contract year. 

Walker is listed as ILB behind Jones, who has a few years remaining but ATL is looking bad at cap figures and Jones has the (not-so-reliable?) "out" note on spotrac.

Thanks for the tip on Hawkins (add). It's a 53 man roster with a 10 man taxi in a contract league, so these types of adds can be huge.

My leagues are the same. Gotta go deep to find anyone on the wire. Hawkins was a FA in all of mine. The safety market makes me think Neal goes elsewhere b/c ATL isn't in a good spot cap-wise and Hawkins is likely to have the inside track at starting. Late 4th draft capital doesn't assure anything but that's a concern for April-June. 

Walker ranged from drafted & held all season to on/off wires. With Jones back in the top 10 for LB and under contract for a few more years, Walker has a much more convoluted path to relevance.

Not sure if it’s role related or Jones is just being out played by Oluoken, but if it’s the latter than Walker may not be too far behind. I like Walker as a stash of the opportunity and bench spot is available.
