2018 rookie pick 1.03 post NFL draft (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. For the TE premium poll this assumes the scoring format is PPR because that is what these leagues almost always are. 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.

Thanks. Fixed.

There were only 9 votes made before I fixed this. I see one vote for other there. I am going to assume that vote was for Chubb.

Bump to keep on first page.  Chubb making a comeback in standard....

He should, he's 3rd in talent. People don't like that he's teamed with Hyde and that Duke Johnson is there, but both could be gone as early as next season. Gotta go with talent over situation when comparing him to Penny.

Drafting for situation is how people wind up drafting Samaje Perine in the first round.  

This poll is over 50 votes now so looking to close it soon.

I do see one more other vote in the TE premium poll but I do not know who that vote is for.

And Kareem Hunt. 

The worst part about the talent vs situation debate is that everyone is either on the side of all talent or all situation. 

It's both.

Hunt was talented. 

Everyone? Honestly I haven't met many that are completely on one side of the equation. Everyone is in the middle, leaning one way or the other.

Sure thats an exaggeration.

The loudest ones are usually further on one side of that spectrum than the other however.

We didn't know Hunt was more talented than Conner or Perine or Joe Williams (and heck, we still don't know if Conner is any more or less talented than Hunt because, you know, his situation hasn't let us see yet) any more than we know Chubb is more talented than Penny or Michel or Rojo.  If anything the NFL seems to think the opposite, right down to the team that picked him as they reportedly were trying to land Penny and settled on Chubb as the leftover.

It's not like we're talking about a 5th rounder in a good spot vs. a 1st rounder in a bad one here.

Fair enough on most, but many of us (myself included) thought highly of Hunt before he was drafted. 

Didn't know he'd do that well of course, but we saw the talent.
