IDP Discussion! The Next Crop of Dominant LBs?!

    Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on guys that have the ability and opportunity to become the next Kuechly, Bowman, etc. guys that will be every down backers that roam the entire field wrecking havoc! Thanks....love some IDP conversation....I think everyone should make the switch if you haven't already! Soooo fun!

    The easy one for me is Kiko Alonso - this dude tore it up for Buffalo as an every down tackle machine...

    Who else?
    Alec Ogletree? - nice complement to laurinaitis
    Arthur Brown? - very disappointing rookie year, can he be the next Ray Ray?

    Minter... to be honest, I wasn't aware of what he done this year...I guess maybe it wasn't much, but maybe he's a guy like Brown that can hopefully come in and be a really good 2nd year starter

    anyone else?
    I know zac Brown had performed pretty well the last couple seasons at Tenn.

    Kiko is a beast. A couple other names to watch are Paul Worrilow and Audie Cole. Kendricks and Trevathan also had some nice seasons.

    Very much agree with Kiko, Worrilow, Ogletree and Kendricks and would add Bobby Wagner.... all these guys came on strong the second half of the season, with the exception of Kiko who may have hit a bit of rookie wall and all looked to be in position to continue the improvement next year. Cole I'm not sold on yet particularly with a possible scheme change coming. I think Ogletree has more big play potential than any mentioned, if he gets his tackle numbers up some in big play leagues he could really turn into something..... I heard Jeff Fisher just gush about this guy as I suspect many others did early in the season in a pregame interview.

    Kiko was great this year; I also agree with warrilow. Alec was impressive as well.

    If you haven't gotten burflict, I suggest you do so. Lots of people said he was a one year wonder but I know he's one of the best Idp wise. A lot of people are also maybe scared of Sean lee's injury history; I suggest you buy him low because he is absolutely dominant when's he on the field.

    I liked Jon Bostic's play in college, and hope to see him break out in his second year with the Bears

    This interesting...... not sure I'm buying this but......

    Falcons undrafted rookie Paul Worrilow made 12 starts at middle linebacker in 2013, leading Atlanta with 127 tackles.He added two sacks and a pass breakup. The
    Delaware alum became an every-down player as WLB Sean Weatherspoon and
    SLB Kroy Biermann were lost to injury, but Worrilow graded out poorly in
    both pass coverage and run defense per Pro Football Focus' game charts.
    Whether Worrilow is Atlanta's middle linebacker of the future remains
    to be seen. His long-term IDP value is shaky.

    Paul Worrilow, MLB, Atlanta: This name comes as no surprise to IDP owners who picked him off the waiver wire early in 2013 and reaped the benefits. Worrilow may not always appear to be the best linebacker on the field but he posted an impressive 129 total tackles with two sacks in his rookie season. An injury to Sean Weatherspoon elevated the need for Atlanta to get Worrilow and fellow rookie linebacker Joplo Bartu on to the field and both performed admirably. With their glaring need for pressure creating defensive linemen off the edge, it’s hard to see the Falcons looking to draft much linebacker help early. Both Worrilow and Bartu should have the chance to secure their positions heading into 2014.

    I still would keep warrilow although the Falcons might add a Lb like Barr or Mack with their high first rounder
