2015 rookie 1.04 (Pre NFL draft) for Dynasty (1 Viewer)

[Biabreakable]

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 1.03 (Pre NFL draft)

I think your 2 QB poll is not quite right. Mariotta is still in it and Cooper is missing

Thank you. Hopefully it is correct now.

Dang. Unless you have "your guy" these are starting to get tough. I went with Kevin White for the first 2 since he continues to be talked about as one of the top WRs. The RBs don't seem to be as seperated yet.

Just continuing this conversation from the other thread:

I can add Ameer Abdullah to the next poll if that is what your getting at EBF? (I really don't get hashtags most of the time)

After other and dont play I only have 13 spots. Once a few of these guys get voted in I will have room for guys like that.

Would anyone be voting for Ameer at this point? I do not see any other votes.

1.03 is too high for him in terms of where he'll be drafted and where he'll go in rookie drafts. Something in the 1.05-1.08 range seems more likely. If he goes to a decent situation and is vetted by the league with a 2nd-early 3rd round pick then I'll be very intrigued though. He's a guy like LeSean McCoy who has some special qualities despite not really fitting the conventional 1st round RB mold or having that type of hype. McCoy went mid 1st in the Crabtree/Moreno/Beanie class and has been far more valuable than all of those guys.

I have seen some who consider Abdullah to only be a change of pace RB. I assume because of his size. I haven't formed an opinion about that yet although I tend to think starting caliber players come in all shapes and sizes, with perhaps with some bias in favor of the underdog or smaller RB. As we have discussed for many a year now.

nfldraftscout predicts him to run a sub 4.4 40 for his best time. If he does have top end speed at the combine even guys like you who prefer a bigger RB will be interested.

I think he belongs in the conversation and thanks for the suggestion of adding him.

At 75 votes Parker and White are very close.

Winston running away with the 2QB vote.

 

[Biabreakable]

At 83 votes Parker seems to be distancing himself from White in the PPR poll at 44.6% of the vote. It is still very close between the two in the standard scoring poll 32.4% to 28.4%

 

[Biabreakable]

At 92 votes there is still only a 3% difference between Parker and White in the standard poll.

I am hoping more separation in the vote may happen or this will be very difficult to call.
