Who You Got: Budda Baker vs Tyrann Mathieu

All Access / By /

Budda Baker has been a tackling machine since joining the NFL. In his three seasons as a pro, Baker has racked up 323 combined tackles. That’s over 107 tackles per season, all while missing two games folks! As mentioned in the profile section above, Baker is only 24 years old. Barring injury, the Cardinals stud is in line for multiple years of high-end production. 

Tyrann Mathieu is a playmaker at every level of defense. Averaging over 80 tackles per year since 2017, the Kansas City star has also accrued six sacks and eight interceptions over those past three years. Mathieu also has two more years left on his contract, so his place in Kansas City looks secure.

2020 IDP Prospects: Linebacker

All Access / By /

Simmons has the skills and experience to be a star at the next level. The former Clemson star posted a sub 4.4 forty at the combine, which pushed his expected draft position into the top 10. A player who can be used in dozens of situations (see snap tracker below), there are defensive coordinators throughout the league salivating at the chance to work with Simmons.

After beginning 2019 battling injuries, Ward got healthy and dominated the second half of the season. In the 10 games between weeks eight and 17, the 2018 fourth overall pick created 38 total tackles, 11 passes defended, three turnovers and scored a touchdown for the Browns secondary. Over that span, Ward finished sixth among CBs in IDP scoring.

IDP Wrap Up: 2019 Defensive End

All Access / By /

No surprises here. The three top tier defensive ends are as talented as they are tenacious. Danielle Hunter lead all defensive ends in 2019, with Cameron Heyward and Joey Bosa nipping at his heels. Hunter and Bosa are only 24 years old, while Heyward is the grown man of the bunch at 30. Looking forward, I expect the two young superstar pass rushers (Bosa and Hunter) to consistently lead the league in IDP production for the next few years, barring injury.
