Great point. Hey Jeter, could you ask for those who vote in these polls to just consider talent?How many people are taking their forecasted drafts into account?
This is probably the toughest part about doing these drafts now, many people will say "if ____ drafts _____, then he becomes the #2 player", while that player may not be the best talent overall.
I'm going on pure talent here, regardless of where I see them being drafted.
Yeah, this is how I wanted it to be judged, based just on talent. We obviously can't make any judgements based on individual situations yet. Like the other rankings, we could do these again in the spring/summer possibly.Great point.

I feel the same way...in fact some ppl think he's the best rb in the rookie class not bushWent with DeAngelo, he's got the best all around skills of the RB's that are left.
Always draft BPA regardless of situation. This makes Williams the obvious choice.Hopefully the draft will clear up who is the #2 RB behind Bush. Otherwise, I will have a very tough decision at 1.02...
I agree with that as far as RBs and QBs, but not WRs. I believe the QB can make or break a WR. That's not the case with RBs.Always draft BPA regardless of situation. This makes Williams the obvious choice.Hopefully the draft will clear up who is the #2 RB behind Bush. Otherwise, I will have a very tough decision at 1.02...
destination can be a factor with RBs, too... losing teams don't run as often as winning teams...personally, i would jump on maroney in IND in a heartbeat over deangelo in SF...I agree with that as far as RBs and QBs, but not WRs.

I would agree, except when the talent level is close. IMO it is close in this case. Williams and White will both be good players in this league, but situation could dictate who has the better numbers. I lean towards Williams, but if White went to Baltimore and Lewis is gone or great situation like that, I'm going with White. To ignore this between these two players would be foolish.Always draft BPA regardless of situation. This makes Williams the obvious choice.Hopefully the draft will clear up who is the #2 RB behind Bush. Otherwise, I will have a very tough decision at 1.02...
I disagree. The better talent will most likelly end up on a worse team, and it also depends on the situation they are going into. Right now it seems that Cadilliac is the better choice from the 3 RBs from last year, simply based on that he is the outright feature RB of the bunch. Brown and Benson will be playing with TJ and Ricky for a little while still.Always draft BPA regardless of situation.

You're both thinking short term. In the end, talent will win out. That's how you draft for dynasty.And no matter how much some tout him on this board, White is nowhere near as talented as Williams.I disagree.

yes and no. Williams is the better all around talent. no one disputes that. however, all of white's talent is concentrated on one skill - north south running - and that skill translates to fantasy points better than any other skill for an RB. so i think looking at talent alone is only part of the picture - you have to look at how that talent translates to fantasy points.If White lands on a good team, he instantly leapfrogs williams, and i dont even have to think about it. a great north south runner on a winning team is fantasy gold.I would agree, except when the talent level is close.

ditto...there seems to be little doubt that white's skills should translate extraordinarily well to the NFL... he isn't as accomplished a receiver out of the backfield as williams... but he wasn't asked to be... he appears to be a good enough athlete that there hopefully won't be catastrophic issues if he is asked to catch screens or dump offs 2-3 times a game...yes and no.

Your right but Williams in a starting position will be better than White, especially in a ppr leagues.yes and no.
