We wrap up our 2020 Pre-season rankings by looking at IDP.
Starting off with DL, similar to all of the other rankings, not a ton of change at the top. Hunter and Nick Bosa are 1-2, as they were in June. The other Bosa, Garrett, and Aaron Donald round out the top 5, followed by stud rookie Chase Young from the Washington Football Team. Marcus Davenport and Jadaveon Clowney are the biggest risers from June, particularly interesting regarding Clowney given he isn’t on a roster. Niners Rookie DT Javon Kinlaw is the highest rookie not named Chase Young in these rankings for the DL.

Focusing on LBs now, as expected Darius Leonard tops everyone’s list, but there was much change from our June rankings. Roquan Smith moved up 2nd overall, and the big jumper is Devin White, up 11 spots to 4th overall. Ravens rookie LB Patrick Queen also is up 11 spots to 15th overall. Fellow rookies Kenneth Murray and Isaiah Simmons also up 12 and 11 spots from the June rankings, respectively.

Finally, looking at the secondary positions, the move from the Jets to the Seahawks was enough to get Jamal Adams into a tie at 1 with Chargers S Derwin James. Raiders 2nd year player Jonathan Abram up 6 spots, with expectations that he will be as good as advertised, even coming off a rookie season where he didn’t play in a single game. Bills S is the biggest drop, seeing him drop 11 spots to 17th overall.
