2018 rookie pick 2.07 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.

John Kelly getting some strong support in the early voting.

Did something happen in regards to Kelly that improved his outlook recently? Or is it just time to be looking at him now?

No, looks like people are just throwing darts! No way should Kelly go before Mayfield in any format.

Kelly is a COP.

Waldman just sent out a Twitter spotlight on Kelly a few days ago.

Thank you! Mayfield should be the vote now, IMO.

I tend to agree that 3 or 4 of the QB should likely go before day 3 RB picks even in formats that do not value the QB very highly.

This is the point in drafts you can get some good value drafting qbs.  Especially with the top 5 qbs this year they will be pushed down the draft board even further

Yeah I am not so in love with some of these players that I wouldn't take a chance of Lamar Jackson being a difference maker for me in fantasy even as soon as pick 12 in a 1 QB league. Maybe even higher than that.

But that is why we do polls, rankings, ADP. To figure out if you can actually wait a bit longer than the players value or not.

Currently there is a tie between John Kelly and Baker Mayfield in the standard poll.

There is a 4 way tie in the TE premium poll between Rosen, Gallup, Miller and Chark.

In my opinion the QB are better choices in both instances.

^^

Voting on these has really slowed down recently.

Going to be gone awhile but hoping to resolve this poll when I return. Maybe some of these ties could be broken. Not sure.

I would still like to get the top 24 completed before the draft, but I need votes to happen a bit more quickly than they have been to get there.
