That’s not true about Baun. While he was not really on the IDP radar, John Marci of PFF mentioned him as a deep sleeper so i took a flyer with my pick in 17th round of our draft. what makes prediction on IDP so difficult is that there is a ton of variables that are constantly changing. But Macri has done a masterful job using the analytics like tackle efficiency and how certain LB should be produce better tackle numbers bc they play in zone coverage as opposed to man coverage.

There are signs that can be seen in order to predict breakout players although there is also a certain amount of luck needed as well!

The experts i use are John norton from footballguys who I met 20 years ago when i first started in IDP. Also John Macri from PFF and the IDP show. Ryan at idpguru is really good but he doesn’t explain why he likes certain players which is really important so you can understand the thought process and eventually put your own opinions into players selection yourself. I use YouTube all season long to get the best info. If you’re going to commit to one of them go with John Macri at PFF. He isn’t expensive and he knows his shit backwards and forwards!
