It can get a bit tricky when you get this granular as it leaves more room for loopholes. The classification of a IDP's position is ultimately up to the league management services you use (ESPN vs. Yahoo! vs. MFL, etc.) and they don't always get the classification right. For instance, I used Bryan Scott as a DB for an entire year even though he was playing LB. Probably won me the championship. Not against the rules, but some may argue that is presents a certain inherent unfairness to newbies who don't know these loopholes. From my experience, it's best to keep it simple to begin with and expand from there. Most people are overwhelmed in their 1st year with IDPs anyways and you don't want to scare them away with too much, too fast :)

I play in a ton of different leagues. But a lot of them use 3 DLs, 3 LBs, and 3 DBs. This always for a fairly equal weight across all three positions.
