Thanks for starting this BW. Sorry I jumped in late -- wasn't online at all on Sunday. Anyway, I wonder how many people are considering the scoring system??? Based on 2005 stats, all but 3 of the top 25 IDP scorers (based on PPG to account for injuries) were LBs. Those three were safeties Adrian Wilson and Gibril Wilson, and a still-available corner. The best defensive lineman was the 35th highest scorer (and is still available), while guys like Strahan (#46), Taylor (#48), and Umenyiora (#52) are already selected.

| That's a great point, typically DE's and especially DT's are not worth as much as LB's and Safties in a conventional scoring system. A conventional scoring system probably looks like: Tackle - 2 points Assist - 1 point Sack - 4 points INT - 4 points FumRec - 2-4 points TD - of course 6 Safety - whatever, as these are just fluke events Arguably, forced fumbles should be accounted for, that will bump some of the better DEs.
