2015 IDP DL RANKINGS

Let’s be honest here: not even your created player on Madden can sniff J.J. Watt’s jock, he’s on his own tier, his own island so there should be no surprise he sits atop the rankings list.

Corey Liuget’s career year isn’t a fluke and don’t be pushed away at his ranking. He’s a solid DL2 option as he keeps getting better. He’s quietly turning into the Chargers’ defensive leader up front. Get him with confidence. I’m expecting many to go, “WTF” on where I have Demarcus Lawrence ranked, but this is dynasty and he will be a top 20 DL at end of the season. He’s got the skill-set and is quick off the line and Dallas needs all the pass rushers they can get. Lawrence just has to stay healthy. Don’t sleep on Sharrif Floyd, you’ll thank me later – as well as Tank Carradine.

I will remain high on Everson Griffen, had a career year last season as a starter and shall only continue to get better. I wanted to rank him at DL5 but I want to see him put together another solid season and we’ll talk. He was a must get for last season, now I will tell you to buy him this off-season and his trade value shouldn’t be expensive. The probable head-scratcher is Greg Hardy. Put his off-field issues aside, the dude is a beast when he’s on the field and that’s where I’m ranking him. I’m expecting him to play at least a bunch of games; if not all 16, unless dude gets suspended again. Reigning DROY Aaron Donald will flirt with top 10 numbers this season, an increase in sacks, snaps and tackles will be nice. I’m buying Cameron Jordan to return to top 10 form this season, his value is probably going to be the cheapest it’ll ever be, just toss your trade partner a couple snickers bars or something, they’ll bite.

Once the draft rolls around, the rookies will be included in here and next update will be during the draft. As always if you have any questions feel free to reach me on twitter at @IDPwithBEE_8o8.

ALOHA
