2020 rookie rankings Post combine pick 1.01 (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 2020 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 populated the lists based on the results of the pre combine polls. @miqws or @ZWKif you have a list I can use for populating the polls moving forward, much appreciated. 

Thanks everyone for voting. Discussion welcome.

@Biabreakable thanks for doing the poll.  As I vote on these, I often update my rankings as I find I would draft someone different in going through the exercise.   

I have the 1.1 in both a PPR and non-PPR league and I think I've settled on JT.

Landing spots may change that, of course.

Taylor in standard, Swift in PPR, Burrow in 2QB for me.  

I don't like it though.  Appreciate the polls Bia

Taylor in all formats, has Zeke level potential

I do the same thing. Others have mentioned getting a benefit from the exercise in a similar way.

Rankings by method and formula still not set in stone until your on the clock.

We are at 53 votes now so I am going to move on to the next poll. I do note how close Swift is to Taylor in the PPR poll though. I am curious how that might play out over another 50 or so votes. I am guessing most prefer Taylor at this juncture with the combine metrics being the most recent piece of information.

Two things of note to me which are a bit odd.

1. Again we got the situation of TE premium making for a large divide vs regular PPR rankings when no TE is actually impacting anything. 

2. Fantasy community right now seems to favor Taylor over Swift, not me but that's the consensus. But the people I listen to who are current media members who worked in the NFL and/or have NFL contacts  insist Swift remains atop the NFL's pecking order.  While it's not unusual to see that difference it is when the guy the fantasy community loves over what appears to be the NFL ex-scouting community is not the guy considered to be the better receiving option. That's a bit unusual to me.

Yeah Swift and Taylor are now tied. So I will leave this open for awhile to see if that resolves itself.

Deadlocked.

Not sure if a run off poll would help here? 8 people did vote for other players than Taylor or Swift in the PPR poll.

Taylor won in every other poll, that should be the tiebreaker here.

Thanks for offering a reasonable solution for the tie.

I will just let it run longer and see what happens for now.
