Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
As a continuation of the work OZ (and Tick) did in his positional dynasty polls, I am going to run a series of polls on overall player rankings in a dynasty league. This will allow us to see both how people's values of the players have changed in the last couple of months and how people value the players relative to each other across positions. I am going to attempt to get as many of these done before the NFL Draft as possible because player values will fluctuate wildly at that point, and I may just let OZ take over with a new series of position polls at that point. (I am also doing this before the Draft because some of us have fantasy drafts starting that day.) In order to make this most applicable to everyone, let's assume a standard lineup and scoring rules.
Standard fbg scoring rules:
1 pt per 10 yards rushing/receiving
6 pts per rushing/receiving TD
1 pt per 20 yards passing
4 pts per passing TD
-1 per INT
3 pts per FG
1 pt per XP
Lineup:
1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE
1 RB/WR/TE flex
1 K
1 D
I started this poll by including the top ten players in the staff rankings plus the consensus top rookie. I don't expect these polls to mirror the staff rankings, and there should be some interesting discussion as a result, but I will add the next players to the poll from the staff rankings if necessary. I would prefer to add players only after they have gotten a couple of other votes in the previous poll. Some of these players probably won't get any votes for now, but I'm not going to temporarily remove them as OZ did because I don't think the clutter among the poll choices will be an issue for now. Anyway, on to the rankings.
1. RB LaDainian Tomlinson, SD
2. RB Larry Johnson, KC
3. RB Shaun Alexander, SEA
4. RB Clinton Portis, WAS
Who is the #5 player to have in a dynasty league? If you vote other please list the player. I added Edgerrin James by request. If you think someone else should be added next round let me know.
I'll put the next poll up either late tonight or tomorrow morning.

ETA: After the 1st four picks are off the board, the next several picks are very difficult to separate and if an owner like jurb26 were in my league I'ld be looking to trade down especially if it will net me an additional 3rd or 4th round pick from the guy that "has to have" Reggie Bush. Even if that owner has the 12th pick I would still gladly exchange 1st rounders and try to exchange 2nd rounders as well. Something like 1.05, 2.07, 8.07 for 1.12, 2.01, 4.01. If he's sitting at 10, 11, or 12 he just might go for this in the belief that Bush won't be around for him if he chooses to wait it out. So this year if you're joining a new dynasty league and you are sitting at 5, 6, 7, or 8 you might want to try something like this.
