2018 rookie pick 1.04 post combine (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. 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 will be using this list compiled by miqws that looks good for populating the poll.

Discussion welcome.Thanks for voting.

In a 2QB league, there's no doubt in my mind that I'd be taking a QB here. But as much as I think Darnold goes first in the real draft I'm not sure he's the best for ff.  the team makes such a difference partly because these guys are all pretty close in value. 

Mayfield's mobility adds a lot of value in FF, even more so than in the real thing. Put him in Denver or Arizona and I think I'd take him here. 

Im at the 4 pick, and I am honestly mindblown I dont have a clear choice here.

Tho, in my PPR league, I think in order, Id go with Guice, Chubb, Michel, Jones. In that order, prior to knowing their landing spot.

That, obviously, will shake things up, bigly.

If I owned the #4 pick I’d be looking to move up to the #2 or down to around #8.  After Guice I value the next tier of players all pretty closely (Chubb, Michel, Jones, Penny, Sutton, Moore)

If no landing spot sticks out to me, I may just do that... But I truly want one of Chubb or Michel. 4 is the only spot to guarantee that, I think

Lamar Jacksons upside for fantasy is off the charts in my view due to his running ability.

I'm actually thinking the same, but so far resisting the urge to trade the 4 before the draft.  Gotta figure Barkley and Guice go top 2, maybe Guice drops a little if his landing spot is suboptimal (say Cleveland), but after that it's totally situation dependant. Values should rise after the draft, right?
