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 2021 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 potentially 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 everyone for voting. Discussion welcome.

It all depends whether you are contending or not.  If I have the 1.01 and I'm a contender, I probably pull the trigger on Harris.  If I'm a team that needs lots of pieces I probably take either Chase or Williams.  The reason I say this is that age matters in dynasty, especially if you won't compete for a few years.  Harris will be 23 when he plays his first game and 27 when his rookie deal is done.  Javonte Williams is 20 and Ja'Marr Chase is also 20.

For a while I was certain I'd take Harris at the #1 spot. I have changed that to Chase. 

I bet they flip flop a couple more times before I draft.

I was certain for the past 2 months I’d take Javonte, that’s who I voted for other than Lawrence in 2qb. I might want Chase though I’m not sure and that’s a fight I’ll be going through for a while

 
Is no one considering Travis Etienne 1st overall? I see him as a Curtis Martin clone who can catch the ball, finds the holes and somehow is able to find the end zone no matter what the circumstance. He's also played in big games and played big against the best competition.

He's in my consideration, but as of now I like Harris slightly better.  Let's put it this way,  if I had 5x 1st overall picks,  3 would be Harris,  2 would be Etienne.

 
Shark Pool Draftniks,

I will close this poll at some point in time on the weekend and will open the 1.02 rookie poll.

Which running backs should be added next:

Trey Sermon? Chuba Hubbard? Kenneth Gainwell? Michael Carter? Khalil Herbert? Jermar Jefferson? Jaret Patterson? Kylin Hill? Javian Hawkins? Someone else?
 

Which wide receivers should be added next:
 

Kadarius Toney? Tylan Wallace? Terrace Marshall Jr.? Amon-Ra St. Brown? Elijah Moore? Tutu Atwell? D'Wayne Eskridge? Nico Collins? Ihmir Smith-Marsette? Seth Williams? Someone else?

Thanks for doing this Faust. I wasnt really ready to populate the poll yet, but after looking at who you included it makes sense. You likely are more aware of who the top prospects are than I am right now.

I voted for ETN and Lawrence in the 2 QB poll although I am open to the possibility that Lawrence might not be the top QB of the class, not really sure about that yet.

I am undecided about who is the top WR between Smith and Chase so that is why I gave the nod to ETN. I could see having both of them ahead of him though.
