ANyhow, IDP's are always going to outscore a team D (at least in most cases). You can usually expect to see the scores increase 50-100% in an IDP league (depending on the number of starters).
In light of that, I could see going with 2 starters at each position, (for a total of 6) plus backups. I would suspect we can create a scoring system where these starters will score anywhere from say 15-20 on a bad week, and 60+ on a REALLY good week).
I can see your point on not going will a full 11 man D in light of devaluing the offense too much, but I think 6 is a good number. I also think you need to be somewhat open to the fact that league scoring will increase if IDP's were used... the question is by how much, which we can somewhat control by the scoring system and the number of starters.

The only reason I'd like to see a mock is to have a tool to create unbalanced teams. If I do a draft based on the stats, the teams are going to be too balanced. I want to see bad Ds and good Ds and the differences. I'm sure there's another way of doing this without mocks (or even preseason rankings) but I thought this would be easiest if anyone had one handy.
I understand that D scoring will increase, and there will be a coinciding devaluation of offensive scoring (never a good thing IMO), and I would be fine with that to a degree, and if the scoring system was fair, balanced, and predictable. Heck, I'm sure someday down the road I won't be looking at this like "the defensive scoring is out of whack" but that "wow, we really need to fix the scoring on linebackers," and IDPs will just be another position to find the propper balance with the others.
