PFF-Preferred IDP Scoring

TIER 1

Abdul Carter remains the top IDP option for this year’s rookie class because his landing spot was never going to hamper his long-term projection much. Carter is an elite pass rusher who delivered an ideal score in the rookie edge prospect model heading into the draft, putting him on par with past top edge rushers like Nick Bosa, Myles Garrett, Chase Young and Aidan Hutchinson.
