Due to Hurricane Sandy, Tom (our IDP Rankings guru), is busy with clean up efforts in his area. Please wish Tom, his family and the other survivors a speedy recovery. Tom usually writes three articles, each covering one of the three different IDP slots: DL (defensive lineman), LB (linebacker), and DB (defensive back) but not I said the cat, or something like that.. you're getting all three in one place, I even added a download if you want the rankings in a spreadsheet.
