Every year, we all have those guys that we just can’t stop drafting. In this episode of IDP Drafts, hosts Jake Kohlhagen and Scott Soltis discuss the players they find themselves taking over and over again in D-UP, 2025 leagues, and rookie drafts. Along the way, they tackle all of the big positions (LB, DL, DB, and dual-designation), share their personal ADP, and highlight some observations and data nuggets that help to explain why they find these players so appealing.
