2018 rookie pick 1.05 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.

I liked all of the previous polls into the first post now.

I forgot the work around suggested by Greg as far as how to paste all the links over instead of having to redo them for every poll again.

Thinking out loud in your poll thread, pardon, but it looks like the tiers are forming:

Barkley

Guice

Chubb

Michel

Jones

Penny

All RBs. Unless I'm very weak at WR, I don't consider Sutton or Ridley until 1.07.

I agree. I think one or two of these backs will land in a spot where they look like longshots to start or are in a bad timeshare and it will push them down in rd1 a bit. You will start to see 2-3 of these wr creep up by either being taken early in the draft or landing in very favorable spots. Its a good year to be a competitive team because I think a fair amount of talent that contributes year 1 will end up in the 8-12 range.

I think a few of these wr will be very solid this year and people will be gun shy from the last few drafts and they will slide. I like guys like ridley and sutton to do work this year. Same with Moore, and Kirk. Could be some surprises from guys like washington if he ends up in a great spot, also guys like Hamilton and EQSB

If Penny wins the standard poll, Royce Freeman would be my next choice at 6 (mentioning because he is currently not listed). 

2QB vote is tight so far. It is hard to pick which QB without knowing the landing spot, but I know I would be going with one here in my SF league.

This.  Even just a month ago I was working hard to trade up to the top 3-4 picks but I've since backed off on what I'm willing to part with.  Starting to feel like I'd be better served having several picks in the the 6 - 14 range than 1 in the top 3.
