This isn't a mock draft. It's a real six-round rookie draft with real prizes on the line—and a format unlike anything else in the IDP space.

Six IDP analysts and six members of The IDP Show Discord and Substack community face off in a 12-team superflex rookie draft. Every team must draft three offensive players and three IDPs, any position, any order. The team with the highest scoring roster after three years takes home the prize pool, including a Devon Witherspoon autographed jersey and an annual subscription to The IDP Show website.

Hosts Scott Soltis and Jake Kohlhagen break down every pick in real time, and starting in round three, the drafters themselves join to walk through their strategy: Eric Harms, Jason King, Jeff Pomazal, and Jon Glosser.

The legal tampering period is over, and boy, have we had a week. Jake and Scott pick up where Josh, Adam, and Bobby left off by reacting to all of the big news in free agency and trades after an exciting Day 1 of free agency. Trey Hendrickson is now in the same division. Maxx Crosby is a Raider again. (For now?) IDP stud Kaden Elliss is a Saint and perennial, “just wait until he has the chance” guy, Leo Chenal, has that opportunity in Washington.  Plus, we’ve got all of the big DTs and late-round DBs that you should be paying attention to for 2026.

In this episode of The IDP After Show, Jake and Scott discuss some players that they are buying, selling, or holding as free agency rapidly approaches. They talk about what they are doing with some of the biggest names in pending free agents: Kaden Elliss, Trey Hendrickson, Devin White, Jaelan Phillips, Jaquan Brisker, and Alontae Taylor. 

The guys wrap up a show by talking about two second-year players whose outlook might become clearer after the dust has settled from free agency: Kevin Winston and Travis Hunter. Since Hunter is a unicorn, they also shake up the rules for him and discuss at what ranges they would be a seller, buyer, or holder.

If you are a dynasty IDP gambler or trade addict who likes to take big swings to capitalize on uncertainty, this episode is for you!

The Super Bowl is behind us, which means the 2026 NFL offseason is officially underway! While there are many things we are looking forward to, like free agency, the NFL draft, startup season, and then the redraft push, one of the highlights of IDP in 2025 was the D-UP contest by FastDraft. In this episode, hosts Scott Soltis and Jake Kohlhagen take a look back at D-UP 2025 with an eye towards this year’s contest. They share some observations from the inaugural year of this exciting product. 

Highlights include a discussion of the best configurations at the top of your drafts, whether we should interpret 2025 results with caution as we plan for 2026, the best slots to draft from, and whether young players (rookies and sophomores) are worth the risk in the D-UP format. The guys wrap up with some thoughts on what they hope to see in a 2026 version of the contest (and beyond).

A new season of The IDP After Show is here, and hosts Jake Kohlhagen and Scott Soltis kick things off by looking back at 2025 ADP to uncover the lessons that will shape 2026 and beyond. In this episode, Jake and Scott break down where the IDP market got it right, where it missed badly, and which trends savvy managers can exploit moving forward.

From safe bets like Kaden Elliss to breakout stars like Will Anderson Jr. and Brian Burns, to costly disappointments such as Frankie Luvu and Alex Singleton, the guys connect ADP to real results using Big 3 Scoring, snap data, and advanced metrics.

They also dig into one of the biggest offseason questions: Should we still draft linebackers early—or is it time to hammer elite defensive linemen first? If you’re already thinking about next season, this is your blueprint to start gaining an edge before rookie drafts even begin.
