Jason Allen â Safety â Miami Dolphins
Allen is a very safe bet for your IDP league because he is going to a team where he will be an immediate starter and safeties are usually more valuable than cornerbacks in a traditional IDP format. Allen has the ability to play cornerback and safety and the Dolphins have positions available at both but with Will Poole coming back from injury safety is the most likely spot for Allen. Regardless of where Allen ends up he will be a starter barring injury.
Michael Huff â Safety â Oakland Raiders
You have to be a bit surprised the Raiders took the logical defensive choice here and stayed away from some marquee names at quarterback in the first round. Huff is an immediate upgrade over a failed first-rounder they drafted at the position, Derrick Gibson. Huff has the rare ability to, play both safety positions as well as cornerback so he can be shuffled around the lineup in the event injuries cause some lineup movement. Huff will be a starter on Opening weekend and is worth a first round selection in your rookie draft
Broderick Bunkley â Defensive Tackle â Philadelphia Eagles
Bunkley winds up going to a team that coveted him for a long time and will have spot for him to start beside last years top pick, Mike Patterson. The Eagles rotate their tackles often so I donât expect big tackle numbers from Bunkley but he should put up a nice amount of sacks, especially with teams paying so much attention to Eagles ends (Jevon Kearse and Darren Howard).
Bobby Carpenter â Linebacker â Dallas Cowboys
There is so much talent in front of carpenter that he canât help but rack up tackles and make plays. Versatile linebacker who can rush the passer and play in coverage if needed. Carpenter can be lined up at multiple positions on the field and will be very valuable to the defense. Doesnât get as much recognition as some of the picks before him. Watch him in your rookie draft he may be a player that falls too low and you can take him and receive unbelievable value
DâQwell Jackson â Linebacker â Cleveland Browns
In Romeo Crennelâs 3-4 defense you need athletic linebackers on the outside and tackling machines o the inside. There was nobody who tackled on a more consistent basis at the NCAA level over the last two years than DâQwell Jackson. I received some comments from people who were surprised by the comments I made about Jackson in my first piece. I stated since working as a Draft Scout since 2000 the only other linebacker to have graded as high as Jackson in play recognition skills was Brian Urlacher. Jackson could turn out to be a star in this defense.
