2019 rookie rankings Pre combine pick 1.09 (Closed) (1 Viewer)

[Biabreakable]

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. For the TE premium poll this assumes the scoring format is PPR because that is what these leagues almost always are. 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 populated the lists based on Paul Emerys top 100 rookie list. If anyone has a better suggestion, such as a compilation of multiple lists or something like that, much appreciated. @miqws list last year was very good for this. I just wanted to get these things rolling before the combine and hopefully get a top 12 or so before that time.

Thanks everyone for voting. Discussion welcome.

Title should say 1.09 rather than 1.08.

Title should say 1.09 rather than 1.08.

Thanks.

Fixed.

My goal is to complete the top 12 before the combine. Polls are taking 2-4 days to run their course but I think we can get there before March 2

The lack of Holyfield love is pissing me off a bit, but it's also making me hopeful I can get him at my 1.10 in one league.

I have a lot of picks in that range and would love to end up with Holyfield but I have a feeling his price will be much higher come rookie draft time

I love the WR's in this class quite a bit, but RB is still king.  I have no doubt he'll go higher in most rookie drafts as well.

How is T.J. Hockenson still on the board with PPR scoring but already drafted in standard scoring?

 

[Biabreakable]

How is T.J. Hockenson still on the board with PPR scoring but already drafted in standard scoring?

Perhaps folks think he will be good at scoring TD but not be a high volume receiver?

When Hockenson won the standard poll it was with 12% of the vote. People were voting for 10 different players in that poll when it was decided. Some one voted for Rodney Anderson after I closed the poll which caused him to tie with TJ there. Anderson hasn't won any poll yet.

So TJ winning at 7 might have been premature and in PPR people value the WR more would be my best guess. Its not like anyone can make discreet projections about the players before they have a landing spot.

There is an interesting tie between Damien Harris and Darrell Henderson in the standard poll. The other 3 look pretty solidly decided right now.

that's the thing about this class, the combine and draft will greatly alter the ranking between now and Rookie drafts in May-August....I don't recall such uncertainty for rookie consensus in quiet awhile
