2015 rookie 1.05(Pre NFL draft) for Dynasty (1 Viewer)

This set of polls is for rookie picks prior to the NFL draft. There will also be a set of polls for after the NFL draft. As always - please feel free to add any comments on why you selected a player at this slot and to suggest players who you think have been overlooked (or if you voted other, then please feel free to add a post on who you voted for).

The purpose for these polls is to attempt to roughly gauge the perceived values of the rookie players without knowing the context of their draft position and team that they are drafted by. The polls that take place after the NFL Draft obviously will factor in situation as well as talent, and of course the knowledge of what NFL Draft round and team each player has landed on.

Debate is very welcome as we all want to know not only which players are specifically ranked ahead of others but also why. This also bumps the thread so that more people will see the poll and hopefully participate by voting.

I will try to stay on top of these and keep the polls moving. The more votes the better. I prefer to not close any poll until there are at least 100 votes and I might leave a poll open longer if the vote is very close between prospects.

Here are the results so far:

2015 Rookie 1.01 (Pre NFL draft)

2015 Rookie 1.02 (Pre NFL draft)

2015 Rookie 1.03 (Pre NFL draft)

2015 Rookie 1.04 (Pre NFL draft)

Standard Scoring

1.01 RB Todd Gurley (50.4%)
1.02 RB Melvin Gordon (79.8%)

1.03 WR Amari Cooper (67%)
1.04 DeVante Parker (34.1%)

PPR Scoring

1.01 RB Todd Gurley (50.4%)
1.02 RB Melvin Gordon (58.3%)
1.03 WR Amari Cooper (73.4%)

1.04 WR DeVante Parker (46.6%)

Start 2 QB Scoring

1.01 RB Todd Gurley (30%)

1.02 RB Melvin Gordon (27.4%)

1.03 QB Marcus Mariotta (31.7%)

1.05 QB Jamies Winston (37.5%)

Big fat snow coming down here in Minnesota right now.

So it looks like White is running away with the standard and PPR poll while Cooper is winning the 2QB over Parker by nearly a 2 to 1 margin.

I understand the appeal of drafting Gurley or Gordon in almost all formats with an early pick; however, the lack of QB prospects combined with the depth of RB talent this year makes it hard to pass on Winston and Mariota with the 1.01 or 1.02 pick in a Start 2 QB or Superflex league (assuming that one of the reasons why you have the 1.01 or 1.02 pick is poor QB talent / depth).

Agreed. In my 2 QB league a QB has gone first in the rookie draft every year since 2008.

Which QBs would you guys suggest adding to the 2QB poll next?

I think you're ok with just Hundley and Petty. If Hundley goes to the Eagles in the 2nd round he'll make a huge jump but for this poll another six or so players will likely get taken before him and then another drop to Petty/Grayson.

Bump.

Jeremiah has Grayson as his #3 QB.

sure, add the rest of the alleged top 5. But none should be taken before the 2nd round even in 2QB leagues. 4th or later in the other formats.

Grayson is likely the next QB that I will add to the 2QB poll. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think those offering the opinion that a QB will not win the poll until a handful of picks away are likely correct. But we don't really know until everyone has voted. So having the QB options there is a good thing to do. People can always vote other as well if the player they would vote for is not on the list.
