One of the biggest questions in IDP best ball is: Should you draft DL or LB in the early rounds? Host Scott Soltis is joined by Jake Kohlhagen as the duo takes different sides and discusses the advantages and drawbacks of each strategy. After presenting arguments based on ADP, rankings, and historical scoring, Scott and Jake walk through a recent draft where they took these positions to extremes by drafting LB or DL with 6 of their first 8 picks. Implications for best ball, redraft, D-UP, and combined leagues are all discussed, allowing you to pick a side!
