2017 rookie pick 2.11 post NFL draft (Closed) (1 Viewer)

Now that the NFL draft is complete and we have had a few days to let things sink in, lets find out what the SP thinks of the rookies and where they stack up against each other for fantasy.

I decided to expand to four different polls post NFL draft, as now we can consider how each player fits with their teams and what that may mean in terms of fantasy points. 

I am populating the poll from my own rankings, with the exception of the 2QB poll where I will slot the top 3 QB choices at all times. If a player is not listed that you think should be, please recommend that they be added to the appropriate poll. If you would vote for a player who is not listed please vote other and post who you voted for, and that player will be added to the next poll.

Discussion welcome. Thanks everyone for voting.

Thanks. I must have buggered that somehow copy/pasting. Will fix.

I've been warming up to James Conner as a target in the late 2nd/early 3rd round. He's flying under the radar a bit for a guy who was a 3rd round pick for a team with a great rushing offense. Mainly ignored in dynasty due to presence of Le'Veon Bell. But who knows if Bell is going to be there long-term? Deadline for an extension is pretty soon and it doesn't look like a deal is going to get done.

If Bell doesn't extended by next Monday, he'll play out 2017 on a $12M deal. Would Steelers franchise him again for almost $15M in 2018? Maybe. If not, he'll hit FA and some team with a lot more cap space will probably make a run at him. It's not crazy at all to think Conner could be the starter in Pitt this time next year. 

I can add James Conner to the polls.

I haven't watched him at all myself so one of the guys on watch list for me. I have heard some good things about him, I just haven't seen it for myself yet.

For the purpose of this particular poll people should vote other if they want to vote for Conner or anyone else as always. I don't see any other votes yet.

Punphrey doesn't have any votes, I wonder if people would rather have Conner than him? Looking back there were some votes for Pumphrey in the previous poll.

Dede Westbrook is the latest player that I added and he does have a couple votes in the standard poll already.

Yeah, sorry just meant that as a random aside and also a request to add to the list for future votes. (I don't play standard scoring, but I think maybe I'd take him in that format over the above options and definitely over Pumphrey.)

I didn't really love Conner as a prospect and thus was probably too low on him in my initial rankings. But just looking at his where he was drafted late in the 3rd and the Steelers offense that allowed 33-year old DeAngelo Williams to put up monster numbers when Bell was out, he's intriguing enough in this range of the draft (late 2nd or early 3rd). I've taken him as early as 2.10 in a league where I own Bell.  

I was going to bring up Conner before I saw that Dan did. He is my "other" vote in standard.

The Steelers do have a good offensive line and some of your other points in favor of Conner are intriguing. Definitely on my short list of players to check out soon.

I likely have watched some players who I would end up grading later than him. So it goes.

Will add him to the next poll.

You may want to look at his 2014 film too if you have the time in addition to 2016. I know others have said he wasn't quite back to 100% last year after missing basically all of 2015 with a torn-MCL and Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer.
