2015 Rookie IDP Positional Rankings

Bee Salamat
May 7, 2015

Earlier this week I posted my Top 50 IDP Rookie Rankings, I went a little backwards here but now I’ve finished the Top 20 Rookie Rankings at their perspective positions. Rookie, Vic Beasley, has been added to both DL and LB rankings because he’s listed as LB on some sites and DE on others, so until we get full clarification on what Beasley’s position will be (could very well be LEO) I’ll list him on both. These rankings are based off what I think their production will be, their impact and snap count from day one. If you want to know who I’m crushing on, it’s Eric Kendricks, Stephone Anthony, Shaq Thompson, Jake Ryan, Randy Gregory, Dante Fowler, Vic Beasley, Carl Davis, Landon Collins, James Sample and Eric Rowe but it doesn’t stop there as you got sleepers such as Grady Jarrett (DT), Hau’Oli Kikaha (LB) and Kwon Alexander (LB).
