3 IDP players with ADP 999 to pay attention for redraft
Jason Pinnock, S, New York Giants
The Giants safety is another name to keep on your radar. Wink Martindale, the defensive coordinator, loves to use packages with a lot of defensive backs. Last season, the Giants used a safety and cornerback as a linebacker to mask the deficiencies in the linebacker room.. This season they added Bobby Okereke, who will likely wear the green dot, so he will be playing most of the snaps. The second linebacker spot is still open and Wink should use defensive backs for that. Pinnock is training with the 1st team and will see he’s usage increase, especially with Julian Love going to Seattle.
Jack Gibbens, LB, Tennessee Titans
Listed as LB2, Gibbens is an intriguing name. Although, Gibbens played very well on the last 4 games of last regular season, recording 27 tackles and one interception, finishing as LB1 of the team. This year, the Titans brought Azeez Al-Shaair to be the 1st linebacker, so Gibbens is competing with Monty Rice for the 2nd spot, but it seems that he is currently the leading candidate.
DeMarcus Walker, DE, Chicago Bears
The Bears DL is poor, Ngakoue is possible the unique name that came to your head, but anyone who thinks that this is a weak defense is mistaken. They have a really promising secondary and two strong linebackers added (Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards) and this can mask the fragility of the defensive line. Not giving space to receivers will allow the rushing players more time to get to the quarterback. With Ngakoue getting the attention, Walker possible will have a lot of 1-on-1 situations, a similar situation that allowed him to have 7 sacks last season with the Titans.
