2026 IDP Rookie Landing Spots: Best & Worst for Dynasty Fantasy Football

The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, which means it's time to sort the winners from the losers in IDP dynasty leagues. Which IDPs drew the best situations? And who got buried on a depth chart? Josh, Adam, and Bobby were joined by Jon Macri LIVE in-person in the Sode Shack to break it all down.

We covered good and bad IDP rookie landing spots across linebackers, edge rushers, and safeties, from CJ Allen stepping into the most linebacker-needy team in the league, to Rueben Bain Jr. landing in a Buccaneers front that gives him a clear path to snaps from day one, to Jacob Rodriguez drawing the short straw in Miami. Plus, quick hitters on big names and a few sleepers worth knowing, a recap of our BG weekend, and the plans moving forward as The IDP Show transitions into the "Macri era."

On that note, this is the last regularly scheduled episode with Josh, Adam, and Bobby as the hosts. We poured our hearts out last week during the announcement video, so we'll simply end with this: thank you. It's been an honor talking IDP with you for seven years. We'll see y'all around.
