2018 rookie pick 1.06 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.

I am populating the polls based off of miqws list

Interesting, apparently I like Sony much less than others.  I get that he's a much bigger investment for them than their other RBs, but they do too much RBBC for me, and he fumbles a lot. Seems like his excellent run in the playoffs has boosted him. I have him at 9 or later in standard, behind DJ, Kerryon, and Royce.

I voted for Michel in PPR, even though I think your concerns are legitimate. I just think his upside in NE offense is crazy high, even if he isn't a bell-cow. I'll accept the low-floor or week-to-week inconsistency to take a chance on getting Dion Lewis 2015 usage and production, at least once Jones, Chubb, and Penny are off the board. 

I was a bit surprised that Jones won the standard and PPR poll at 1.05 yet Sony Michel won the TE premium poll.

However Michel did have 16 votes to Jones 23 votes in the PPR poll, so I must assume that the folks voting for Michel there play in more TE premium leagues as for the reason why. Both do assume PPR format.

Do people think that Michel is a better receiver than Jones?

Maybe people are voting for Michel out of spite because they thought it was obvious the 1.06 should be Kerryon so we shouldn't even have to vote for it......hahahahah

I think that Michel is a better receiver than Jones. Michel's had seasons with 22 and 26 receptions in college, whereas Jones had 32 his whole career and never lead his own RB group in receptions any season. 

More importantly for me, Michel went to a team that has a history of using the RB in the passing game.

Cool.

I just happened to be looking at this just now and Michel did have 64 receptions in college over 4 seasons so twice as many as Jones had in 3 seasons.

I have already talked about how Darnold wouldn't see how open Jones was in cut ups I have watched of him a few times. I think Jones is better than the evidence. At the same time Winston likes to push the ball downfield like Darnold and the Patriots situation does look more promising for a RB to get receptions than Tampa Bay.

The poll has hit 53 votes now.

In the 2Qb poll there are two ties happening. The leading tie is between Josh Rosen and Lamar Jackson who have 5 votes each. The trailing tie is between Jones and Michel who have 4 votes each.

I will let this run for awhile and see if it resolves itself. I do have to leave in a couple hours if it hasn't by then.

And yet they constantly have RBs finish in the top 15.

RB15 might be his healthy floor this year.
