2018 rookie pick 1.03 post combine (Closed) (1 Viewer)

The purpose of these polls is to get an idea of who the majority of voters prefer at a specific pick in a rookie draft. These drafts assume that all 2018 rookie players are available. For the 2QB poll there may be some variance in scoring. Some may be standard, others PPR. I think a lot of 2QB leagues may involve IDP as well so these differences are not accounted for here. Only looking at the offensive skill players in the two most common formats and also 2QB leagues, to get a sense of where the QB are valued relative to other positions, when there is actually scarcity at the QB position. The polls assume 12 teams and likely 24-26 roster spots as the most common format for dynasty. Short bench dynasty leagues should only care about the top 6-12 rookie players.

If a player isn't listed that you would vote for please vote other and then post the name of the player that you voted for so that player can be added to the next poll. Also please suggest players not listed that you would vote for soon, even if not on the particular poll that is active.

I will be using this list compiled by miqws that looks good for populating the poll.

Discussion welcome.Thanks for voting.

Very surprised to see Chubb this high (in the early voting).

Based on the 10 games of his I watched I think Chubb does some good things, but overall it wasn't very impressive vs Sony Michel or other players I have charted so far.

I didn't include any 2015 games for Chubb which might be better games for him. That would also be games before his injury though, which reminds me of my evaluation of Samajae Perine last year. Perine looked much better in his 2014 games and not as good in his two seasons since then, similar to Chubb. So I am not really willing to give Chubbs 2015 much weight in how I grade him, as those are the games and the level of play he is furthest away from.

The only real explanation I have for people voting for Chubb at this point is that he is perhaps the most well known player from this draft class because of how good he was in 2015.

My inner 12-year old chuckled.

I voted Sony Michel in all 3 (don't play TE Premium). I was a little more surprised to see Jones getting a lot of votes in PPR.

Funny you mention Perine, I kind of see Chubb as a plus version of Perine. He could be a good back, but I think he is less robust than guys like Michel and Penny.

The profile of Chubb stands out above the profile of Michel.  More athletic, more production, and good god when you see them standing next to each other HERE.  That said Chubb still has questions to be answered about pass catching and he didn't exactly silence those questions yet.  I love Nick Chubb but he just might be a plus version of Jordan Howard that gets replaced on 3rd downs.

I think his solid combine vs Michel and jones underwhelming resulted in his bump from the pre combine polls
